In October 2019 we submitted out evidence to NICE as part of their Guideline review.
We submitted 3 papers showing the adverse physiological effects of exercise:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31161646 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29308330 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30968005
We also submitted:
- the survey from Forward ME showing 80% harm from Graded Exercise Therapy
- our own survey showing 53% of physio interactions result in deterioration,
- details of the interventions that DID help (massage, passive stretching, individual tailored approach)
We’re so pleased to be registered stakeholders. Updates will follow as and when we receive them.
