| A physiotherapist helps to strengthen,
stretch and relax muscles. This increases joint movements and
improves circulation. |
|
| Physiotherapy can help provide a structured exercise
programme specifically designed to be therapeutic for MS related
problems such as poor balance and weakness. |
|
| Activities to enhance control and muscle balance
can improve function, safety and efficiency of movement and
prevent or postpone weakness caused by lack of use. |
|
| Exercise builds a reserve of muscle strength and
cardiovascular function. Then, if an attack or exacerbation
of MS calls for a time-out from physical activity, the reserve
is available. When the symptoms subside and the person is able
to go back to a more normal life, there is better foundation
on which to rebuild. |
|
| However, all the benefits of exercise are short
term and will fade away if exercise is discontinued. |
