In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common questions I hear as an MS specialist: “Why can I walk better indoors than outdoors when I have multiple sclerosis?”
If you’ve noticed your MS symptoms make walking outside harder—think struggles with balance, strength, or heat sensitivity—you’re not alone! I’ll cover the main reasons this happens, including the impact of temperature, unpredictable outdoor surfaces, and even how your brain adapts to new environments.
Most importantly, I’ll share practical MS exercises, strategies, and tools to help you safely improve your outdoor walking ability and boost independence. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed with MS or have been living with it for years, you’ll find actionable advice, encouragement, and new ways to transform your daily mobility. Tune in for expert MS physical therapy tips, outdoor exercise strategies, and tools to walk better with MS!
