As a physical therapist specializing in MS, I’ll walk you through targeted knee bending exercises, strategies to strengthen your hamstrings, and practical tips to release tightness and spasticity in your quadriceps. These actionable tools can help improve your walking, stair climbing, and everyday movement.
