What it is

What Is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological condition affecting the brain and spinal cord. It can cause a wide range of symptoms and may affect movement, sensation, balance, coordination, vision and fatigue.

Symptoms and progression vary considerably between individuals. Some people experience relatively mild symptoms, while others may develop greater difficulties with mobility and everyday activities.

Physiotherapy can form an important part of multidisciplinary MS management by helping people maintain physical function, mobility and independence.

Common MS Symptoms We Can Help Manage

Walking Difficulties

MS may cause weakness, altered sensation, stiffness or balance problems that make walking more difficult.

Physiotherapy can include gait training, strengthening, balance exercises and appropriate mobility strategies to help you walk more safely and confidently.

Balance Problems

Changes in balance and coordination can increase the risk of falls.

Your physiotherapist can assess your balance and develop exercises designed to improve stability and confidence during everyday activities.

Muscle Weakness

Weakness may affect the legs, arms or trunk.

Progressive strengthening exercises can help maintain muscle function and make activities such as standing, walking and climbing stairs easier.

Muscle Stiffness and Spasticity

Some people with MS experience increased muscle tone or stiffness.

Physiotherapy may include positioning, stretching, movement exercises and functional rehabilitation to help maintain mobility and comfort.

Fatigue

Fatigue is a common symptom of MS and can significantly affect everyday activities.

We can help you develop an appropriate exercise programme while incorporating pacing and energy-management strategies.

Reduced Coordination

MS can affect coordination and movement control.

Targeted exercises can help improve functional movement and confidence.

Reduced Mobility

If mobility becomes more difficult, physiotherapy can focus on maintaining independence with transfers, walking, stairs and everyday activities.
