Multiple Sclerosis Physiotherapy in Indirapuram
Multiple sclerosis affects the brain and spinal cord in varied and often unpredictable ways. No two people have the same symptoms. Physiotherapy helps manage fatigue, weakness, balance and stiffness, and exercise, carefully paced, is safe and beneficial.
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.
Exercises often used for Multiple Sclerosis
These are exercises our physiotherapists commonly include. Which ones suit you, how many and in what order depends on your assessment and stage of recovery.
Medical note
This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Treatment is planned after an in-person assessment by a physiotherapist, and we refer you to a doctor where symptoms need medical review first. If you have sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, chest pain or severe unexplained pain, seek emergency care.
