Multiple Sclerosis Physiotherapy: Improving Mobility and Quality of Life

What Is Physiotherapy for Multiple Sclerosis?

Physiotherapy for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a specialised approach to managing symptoms like muscle weakness, spasticity, and balance issues. It involves targeted exercises and techniques to maintain mobility and improve daily function.

How Does Physiotherapy Help People with MS?

Physiotherapy can:

  • Improve balance and coordination.
  • Reduce muscle stiffness and spasms.
  • Enhance walking ability and strength.
  • Promote independence in daily activities.

What Types of Exercises Are Recommended for MS Patients?

  • Strength Training: To maintain muscle strength.
  • Stretching: To reduce stiffness and spasticity.
  • Balance Exercises: To prevent falls and improve coordination.
  • Aerobic Activity: To boost cardiovascular health.

What Is Neuroplasticity and How Does It Relate to MS Physiotherapy?

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural connections. Physiotherapy leverages this principle to help MS patients regain or improve lost functions.

Can Physiotherapy Help with MS-Related Spasticity or Muscle Stiffness?

Yes, physiotherapy techniques like stretching, manual therapy, and hydrotherapy can significantly reduce spasticity and improve muscle flexibility.
