As you know MS spasticity can be a pain in the who who

I found another article you will enjoy. It has videos for each exercise as well.

If I’m honest, I’ll admit that I’ve fallen off the exercise wagon. My PCP referred me to physical therapy to help with spasticity. I hadn’t realized how stiff my gait was. The therapist was marvelous and gave me a plan with exercises to keep muscles relaxed and prevent a lot of problems.

Finding a therapist who understands MS was such a blessing. I highly recommend seeking a referral to one whenever it’s available. I only went three times, but feel I have a number of things I can actively use as I need them.

Thanks again for looking at this and sending the links. The internet is a great tool, but it sure has lots of nonsense, too.

I’ve bookmarked your links to use as I ease back into a little exercise.

You’re a gem!

Thank you for the referral to a great article. I printed out some of the Canadian PDF info. I too have fallen off the exercise wagon and have hubby and friends trying to get me to the gym.. I love doing all the various stretches and will be the first to tell you that my spasticity always feels better the longer I am up and moving around.
