Nearly all treatment for Multiple Sclerosis should include a progressive and individualised exercise programme. As with all patients with a chronic disease, a doctors clearance must be obtained prior to commencing an exercise programme.
Benefits of an exercise programme for MS:
- Maintenance of flexibility and prevention of restricted joint movements
- Enhanced balance and coordination
- Weight management
- Stress management
- Prevention of heart disease and other chronic diseases
- Reduced fatigue
- Improved quality of life
- Enhanced physical fitness
Through a specialist exercise programme and communication between your therapist and myself, you can maximise the benefits of exercise and positively aid in the treatment of MS.
