Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease in which the immune system attacks the protective covering of the brain and spinal cord, causing damage to nerves and leading to a variety of cognitive and physical impairments. From early stage through disease progression, physical therapy-led exercise rehabilitation can reduce functional dysfunction in MS patients, manage and address symptoms like fatigue and spasticity, slow progression of the disease, and improve quality of life.

Exercise rehabilitation under the supervision of a physical therapist can help multiple sclerosis patients conserve and regain functional abilities, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects the central nervous system and can lead to physical and cognitive impairments. Research suggests that targeted exercise rehabilitation may be the single most effective non-pharmacological symptomatic treatment for multiple sclerosis. A structured rehabilitation program can improve mobility, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients.

Physical therapy exercise interventions can help reduce and manage symptoms of multiple sclerosis, restore function and mobility, and boost quality of life at all stages of the disease. Research has shown that exercise is a safe and effective method to improve symptoms of multiple sclerosis and reduce disease progression. Multiple sclerosis is a progressive disease of the central nervous system that can lead to fatigue pain, and impaired coordination and mobility. Therapeutic exercise is a safe and effective treatment to help patients manage the disease from onset through relapse and remission to maintain overall fitness and function.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system in which the myelin sheath surrounding the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord is damaged. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, difficulty walking, coordination issues, and muscle stiffness and spasticity. Physical therapy plays a key role in rehabilitation and conserving functional abilities in those with multiple sclerosis.

Rehabilitation is an essential component of comprehensive care for individuals with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition of the central nervous system that is characterized by relapses and remission of symptoms with a variable progression of disability over time. Physical therapy helps patients manage the disease from diagnosis through relapse and remission stages, using gait and balance training and monitored exercise therapy to improve and enhance functional mobility.

Multiple sclerosis is a progressive disease that affects the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord. This can result in pain, fatigue, muscle stiffness, and balance and coordination issues. Symptoms can vary in type, duration, and intensity depending on which part of the nervous system is affected. Physical therapy is a safe and effective treatment option to help individuals with multiple sclerosis regain functional independence, improve balance and strength, and achieve greater aerobic capacity and mobility. At Mangiarelli Rehabilitation, we understand that managing multiple sclerosis symptoms can be a marathon and we are here to support you throughout each stage of the disease.
