Movement limitations in MS affect 90% of all patients. Learn how to maintain your strength, balance and mobility.

This episode is dedicated to the movement limitations caused by MS. Multiple sclerosis manifests itself in a wide variety of symptoms and it can also affect your overall mobility. To be mobile you need strength, coordination, balance and you need to be stretched. When one or more of these building blocks are affected, your mobility decreases.

Learn more about how these disorders occur, when they happen, what you can do about them, and what support services are available.

A word of advice right from the start: The best thing you can do is to buck the trend. So instead of limiting yourself and your life, try to exercise all the weak points on a regular basis, but also preventively the areas that are not affected.
