Multiple sclerosis and physiotherapy. Did you know that multiple sclerosis is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada? It is a chronic, often progressive illness that affects the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms can vary from person to person and can include fatigue, numbness or tingling in the limbs, problems with balance and coordination, vision problems, bladder issues, mood changes, and more. If you are living with multiple sclerosis, seeking physiotherapy treatment is important. Here are three reasons why:
Physiotherapy can help to manage the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
Symptoms of multiple sclerosis can vary greatly from person to person and can change over time. Physiotherapy can help to manage these symptoms and make everyday activities easier. For example, physiotherapy can help fatigue by teaching energy conservation techniques. If you have trouble walking, physiotherapy can help to improve your balance and coordination. And if you are experiencing bladder problems, physiotherapy can help to strengthen the muscles that control urination.
It can help to slow the progression of multiple sclerosis.
While there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, physiotherapy can help slow the disease’s progression. This is important because the sooner multiple sclerosis is diagnosed, the more likely physiotherapy will be effective.
It can help you to live a normal life despite multiple sclerosis.
