The Exercise Revolution in MS Management
For decades, MS patients were told to avoid exercise to prevent symptom worsening. We now know this advice was profoundly wrong. Exercise improves strength, reduces fatigue, slows disability progression, and improves neurological function.
Aerobic Exercise
Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (swimming, cycling, walking) 3–5 days per week improves cardiovascular fitness, reduces fatigue, and has neuroprotective effects. Aquatic exercise is particularly beneficial — cool water prevents Uhthoff's phenomenon.
Resistance Training
Progressive resistance training 2–3 days per week improves strength, reduces fatigue, and maintains functional independence. Focus on lower limb strength, core stability, and upper limb function.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Balance training, gait retraining, and coordination exercises target the specific neurological deficits of MS — ataxia, spasticity, and balance impairment.
