• Resumen

  • Fibromyalgia is a body pain syndrome. Duration, intensity and extension of zones of pain, functional disability and incapacity for work and daily activities are impressive. Loss of self esteem and social isolation are present in the subjects with the syndrome. A Program for women with fibromyalgia showed that after months developing collective bodily practices, their symptoms regress.

    However when they are able to come back to work the symptoms come back. Loss of senses in work, and work regime appear as possible causes.
