8. Physical Therapy
While there may be no cure for polymyositis, treatment is available that can at least help to limit the severity of the symptoms. One treatment often used is physical therapy. This involves getting the patient to exercise their muscles to help make them stronger, while also working on coordination and other aspects.
Physical therapy can be hard work. It can be very frustrating at times and even painful, but the patient must persevere because the therapy can be effective at helping people regain strength. The results generally mean that the patient will find it easier to move around and give them the strength to go about their day-to-day activities.
