Physiotherapy and Multiple Sclerosis

Physiotherapy has a vital role in containing the effects of MS. At Trafford MS Therapy Centre our  professionally qualified  neuro physiotherapist Tim Walton specialises in the treatment of MS .

Individual sessions provide the basis for trained assessment of the MS person in particular areas of difficulty and the exercise routines best needed to control and improve these conditions. The individual's progress can thereafter be monitored and his/her programme adjusted to suit any changes in condition as soon as they become detected.

  Different people with different symptoms
can benefit greatly from the same set of exercises.

Exercise is never easy but people are only asked to do what they are capable of and what is right for their MS state. Taking 'physio'  helps most people to maintain a disciplined approach to regular exercise .In spite of the variety of symptoms of MS, there are certain important factors similar to them all. Hence different people with different symptoms can benefit greatly from the same set of exercises.

Some of the symptoms of MS, such as muscle weakness or spasm, occur as a secondary symptom to the initial nerve damage, therefore if the body is persuaded to move normally - even if its reflex responses have diminished - the adverse effect that abnormal movement has on muscles will be delayed. The aims of neuro-physiotherapy are to: 

    · improve and maintain joint mobility
    ·     improve and maintain balance and co-ordination
    ·     delay muscle spasms
    ·     maintain general fitness
    · maintain normal patterns of movement

    These in turn will help limb control, reduce spasticity, improve strength, aid walking and act against further secondary complications.
