253. Should You Exercise to Muscle Failure with Multiple Sclerosis? The Research-Backed Answer


Listen Later

In this episode of The MSing Link Podcast, I dive into a hot topic: should you exercise to muscle failure if you have multiple sclerosis (MS)? 

Drawing from the latest research and my 12+ years as a physical therapist specializing in MS, I break down the difference between muscle fatigue and muscle failure, and share evidence-based recommendations for safe and effective strength training. 

We talk about the importance of rest, proper exercise form, and how to adapt resistance training for people with MS so you can boost strength, walking ability, and functional independence—without risking injury or worsening fatigue. 

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned MS warrior, you’ll get practical strategies and MS-specific exercises to help you move better, feel stronger, and improve your quality of life. Tune in for empowering insights and actionable tips grounded in MS rehabilitation research!
