MS is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the protective sheath around nerves, leading to slowed or blocked nerve signals. Symptoms can include fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of coordination, blurred vision, numbness or tingling, and difficulties with balance and walking. We conduct regular strength, balance, and gait assessments to tailor therapy. Our focus is on maintaining muscle mass and endurance through safe resistance and aerobic training, improving walking stability, managing fatigue, and supporting independence through energy conservation and functional retraining.
How We Help
What is Multiple Sclerosis and how does it affect the body?
MS is an autoimmune condition where the protective sheath around nerves is damaged, slowing or blocking nerve signals. This can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, numbness or tingling, loss of coordination, blurred vision, and difficulties with balance or walking.
How can therapy help people with MS?
Rehabilitation helps maintain strength, endurance, and mobility while managing symptoms. Therapy focuses on improving walking stability, reducing fatigue, maintaining muscle mass, and supporting independence in daily activities.
What types of exercises are included in MS management?
Programs use safe resistance training, aerobic exercises, balance work, and functional movement practice. Exercises are carefully tailored to individual ability and energy levels to maximise benefits without overexertion.
How does therapy support everyday life?
Functional retraining and energy conservation strategies help individuals manage fatigue, maintain independence, and perform daily tasks more efficiently. Regular assessments ensure programs adapt as symptoms change over time.
