Graded Exercise Therapy

Physical Rehabilitation Therapy

Graded exercise therapy, or GET, is a programme of physical activity that begins very slowly and is increased gradually over time. It has been used as a treatment for myalgic encephalomyelitis, also called chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS. The therapy is contested: most public health bodies, including the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the United Kingdom National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, now consider it an ineffective treatment for the condition, and its safety has been disputed. It nonetheless continues to be supported by a minority of clinicians and organizations.
