Is it advisable to do exercise when affected by Syringomyelia? Which activities would you suggest and how intense should they be?

Yes you can, but know your limits. Most excersise is hard on me, but swimming. There is no impact, like when running, no strain on muscles. Plus it takes some if the pain away just by being in the watet.

Stay limber. Gentle stretching and gentle strengthening. Use it or lose it. Avoid straining. Those with both chiari and Syria gonyemis may have contraindications

None that would cause heart rate to rise or physical strain. Water therapy, possibly Pilates

Please check with your doctor to find which exercises and duration of workouts are best for you! For me, swimming is the best exercise! Some isometric exercise , walking outdoors on a treadmill are fine as well as low stationary bikes are good. I must avoid weight training, running due to the wear and tar on my spinal cord, zinging pain throughout my body. 30 minutes daily is best for me.

I don't see why you can't exercise if you wanted to. I would maybe ask your doctor if there certain restrictions that they think you you should keep in mind. I know there is a lot of people with weight restrictions, including myself. I exercise at physical therapy to basically maintain muscle and work on gait issues to keep moving. Others I know do yoga and water aerobics.

This question is something that I cannot answer easily but I can tell you what you need to do. Your neurologist should refer you to what is known as a physiologist. The physiologist I saw rode out an entire books for me on exactly every last exercise I could do how much weight to use how much weight not to use. We had to work together and I gave him a complete detailed account of my weight resistance training program and everything else that I do. The biggest change I had to make was lowering the amount of weight and increasing the wraps and the way that I breathe when I I'm doing the positive and negative oven exercise. Surprisingly enough I gained more lean muscle mass than I ever could imagine so you don't need to just waste away.
Keep a positive attitude always.
