245. Why Small MS Progress Matters More Than Big Goals (Real Examples Inside)


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story that reminded me just how crucial it is to focus on small progress—especially when living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Drawing from both my own recent experience and real success stories from my MSing Link community, I’ll show you why those micro improvements matter much more than you think. We’ll talk about how looking for and celebrating tiny wins—like walking a few more steps or lifting your leg an inch higher—can keep you motivated, help with MS symptom management, and even spark neuroplasticity for lasting change. 

 

Whether you’re working toward better strength, balance, or independence, you’ll learn practical strategies and exercises to notice improvements each day. Join me for actionable MS physical therapy tips, inspirational examples, and a new mindset for tracking MS progress, so you feel empowered and hopeful on your wellness journey!
