Staying Active with MS

Movement as Medicine

Physical activity might seem counterintuitive for those with mobility challenges, but when tailored correctly, it's a game-changer.

Benefits

  • Muscle Strengthening: Helps combat muscle weakness prevalent in MS.
  • Enhanced Mobility: Regular activity can delay mobility issues.
  • Mood Elevation: Physical activity is a known mood booster, countering MS-related mood challenges.

Activities to Consider

  • Walking: With appropriate aids if necessary.
  • Yoga: Provides flexibility, strength, and mindfulness.
  • Swimming: Offers resistance without the strain of weight-bearing.
  • Tai Chi: Enhances balance and coordination.

Conclusion: The right kind of physical activity, personalized to one's MS symptoms and progression, can not only provide symptomatic relief but also instill a sense of empowerment.
