Answer: Yes, but start out slow to see what she can handle depending on her condition. You may be able to find out if she also has myofasical Pain Syndrome. I hope not and I hope your Mom feels better after although sometimes you feel worse just make sure she drinks plenty of water to help get rid of the toxins you work out of the muscles.  =
