241. The Rule of 2: How to Stop Compensating and Use Your Real Strength With MS


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m sharing my “Rule of 2” method—a powerful strategy to help you stop overcompensating and start using your real strength with multiple sclerosis (MS). If you often find yourself relying on your arms to lift your leg or pushing off armrests to stand up, you’re not alone! I’ll walk you through how to become more aware of these habits and give you practical tips so you can retrain your brain and body for better mobility and functional strength. 

Join me as I explain why just getting stronger in your exercises isn’t enough, and how the Rule of 2 bridges the gap between strength training and everyday movement. Whether you’re working on walking better, gaining independence, or improving your quality of life with MS, these strategies are designed for you. 

Tune in for expert advice, MS-specific exercises, and tools you can use right away to build confidence in your body and break the cycle of compensation!
