Myasthenia Gravis Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Symptoms

Drooping eyelids, double vision, difficulty chewing or swallowing, weakness in the arms and legs, and fatigue that increases through the day or with repeated activity. Symptoms fluctuate.

Sudden severe weakness or difficulty breathing or swallowing is a medical emergency (myasthenic crisis).

Exercise and myasthenia

People with myasthenia were once advised to avoid exercise. Current evidence suggests appropriately dosed exercise is safe for those with stable disease and can improve strength, fitness and quality of life.

Key principles: exercise when medication is working best, use shorter sessions with rest breaks, avoid pushing to exhaustion, and stop if symptoms worsen significantly.

Therapy approach

We plan aerobic and strength exercise at a level that doesn't trigger worsening. Energy conservation techniques help with daily tasks. Breathing exercises may support respiratory muscles. Coordination with your neurologist ensures the programme matches your disease activity.
