    Polymyalgia Rheumatica

    Treatment Programme

    Aim to perform this programme a minimum of once per day unless prescribed otherwise. As with any new exercise,
    start slowly (repetitions as able) and build up as you are able within the guidelines below.
    Pain should not exceed 5/10 whilst completing this exercise programme.

    15 reps / 2-3 sets / 1 minute rest

    1. Forward bending and arching in standing

    • Start standing upright with knees slightly bent.


    • Place your hands on your thighs.
    • Take a breath in.
    • As you exhale slide your hands down your legs allowing your back
    to bend as you do.
    • Go down as far as you feel comfortable and then slowly return to
    standing.
    • Now lean slightly backwards as far as you feel comfortable.

    15 reps / 2-3 sets / 1 minute rest

    2. Standing rotation
    • Start standing upright.
    • Take your right arm up to shoulder height and out to the side.
    • From here reach across your body as far as you can until you are
    level with your left shoulder.
    • You can move your upper body and pelvis but keep your feet on
    the floor.
    • Repeat this motion using the left arm and then continue alternating
    between the left and the right arms.

    15 reps / 3 sets / 1 minute rest


    3. Incline press up
    • Stand in front of a solid surface that is around hip height, for
    example kitchen counter.
    • Place your hands on the hip high surface and step backwards until
    you feel moderate force going equally through your shoulders.
    • Bend your elbows to take your head and shoulders closer to your
    hands.
    • Push against the surface to return to starting position.

    We recommend consulting a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to ensure exercises are best suited to your recovery. If you are
    carrying out an exercise regime without consulting a healthcare professional, you do so at your own risk. If you have any concerns
    whilst completing these exercises, please contact a healthcare professional.
