244. Feel Less Stiff in the Morning With MS: 3 Quick Exercises to Wake Up Your Muscles


Listen Later

In this episode, I share three quick and easy exercises you can do to help reduce morning stiffness and improve balance with multiple sclerosis (MS). 

Learn how activating your neural pathways before standing up can make a big difference in how steady and confident you feel—whether you’ve been resting in bed, sitting on the couch, or even out at a restaurant. 

I’ll walk you through the simple steps of marching, leg kicks, and toe lifts, all designed to wake up your muscles and boost your mobility in 5 minutes or less. These MS-friendly morning exercises are perfect for anyone looking to improve walking, decrease stiffness, and feel more in control of their daily routine. 

Join me for evidence-based tips and practical MS physical therapy strategies that empower you to start your day strong and move with greater ease!
