Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. In MS, the myelin sheath—a protective layer that surrounds nerve fibers—is damaged, disrupting the transmission of signals along the neurons. This inflammation within the nervous system can occur at various locations, resulting in a wide range of symptoms.
Effective Multiple Sclerosis treatment often involves a combination of medications for MS, tailored therapies, and lifestyle adjustments to manage the disease and improve daily functioning. Among these approaches, physiotherapy for MS plays a crucial role in addressing symptoms and enhancing overall quality of life.
Specialised MS therapies, including neurological physiotherapy, can address common symptoms such as fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, muscle weakness, poor coordination, balance issues, and difficulties with posture and stability. Physiotherapy can also improve walking ability, dexterity, and reaching movements, making daily activities more manageable for individuals living with MS.
By integrating neurological physiotherapy into your treatment plan, individuals with MS can experience significant improvements in symptom management and overall well-being.
