Do the holidays leave you paying for it with MS fatigue for days afterward? You're not alone in this.
Does MS make your voice sound shaky, hoarse, or quieter than it used to? You're not imagining it… and you're not alone.
In this solo episode, I'm answering one of the most common questions I hear from MSing Link members and people living with multiple sclerosis (MS): "What exercises should I do if my goal is ___?" Whether you want to walk up slopes, climb stairs with more strength, turn without losing your balance, or stand up from the couch without plopping, I'm sharing the two-step thought process I use as an MS-specialized physical therapist… so you can build an MS exercise routine that matches your goals.
I'm so excited to welcome Dr. Mandy Jacques, PT, DPT, MSCS, a physical therapist and Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist, for an in-depth conversation about electrical stimulation (e-stim) for multiple sclerosis (MS). We talk about the Neubie device from NeuFit, how it's used, and how it fits into a real-life exercise routine.
If multiple sclerosis (MS) fatigue has you sleeping eight hours and still waking up empty… this episode is for you.
