Exercising to Maintain/Improve Mobility for People with MS

4/16/2014

 
Physical therapy and exercise can be the “cog in the wheel” to prevent loss of and even improve upon your balance, strength, endurance, and functional mobility/ADLs (Activities of Daily Living).

Have a physical therapist in your area assist you in a personalized and progressive exercise plan. It should be tailored to your current needs. Ideally, your physical therapist has a neurologic emphasis and expertise in balance and fall prevention. Start small with implementing a program and gradually progress according to your PT’s recommendations.
