Multiple Sclerosis Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

How MS affects movement

MS damages the insulation around nerves, disrupting signals. Symptoms may include weakness, numbness, balance problems, muscle stiffness, bladder issues, visual changes and fatigue. Some people have relapses and remissions; others progress gradually.

Fatigue is often the most limiting symptom, and it's different from ordinary tiredness.

Exercise in MS

For years, people with MS were told to avoid exercise. That advice has changed. Research shows appropriate exercise improves strength, walking, balance, fatigue and quality of life, and doesn't cause relapses.

Heat can temporarily worsen symptoms for some people, so exercising in a cool environment and staying hydrated helps.

What therapy involves

We tailor programmes to current symptoms: strength training, balance and walking work, aerobic exercise, stretching for spasticity and energy conservation strategies. Pacing is central. During relapses, therapy may focus on maintenance and recovery, then build back up.

We also advise on walking aids, foot drop splints and home setup where needed.
