The MSing Link (ePub)

Has multiple sclerosis caused you to become fearful, frustrated, or overwhelmed because your walking or mobility isn't improving?

In this straightforward and action-focused guide, Dr. Gretchen Hawley provides the exact steps to take control of your MS symptoms and feel empowered. Common symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, difficulty walking, and poor balance require MS-specific exercises and strategies geared toward strengthening your neural pathways, not just your muscles. This is possible through MS exercises focusing on neuroplasticity, which, unfortunately, is often overlooked or ignored.

After reading The MSing Link, you will have the tools to:

¿ Improve your walking on even and uneven surfaces

¿ Gain leg and core strength

¿ Improve your balance and reduce falls

¿ Reduce fatigue

¿ Modify exercises based on how your MS affects you each day

¿ Manage temperature sensitivity and sensation changes

¿ Feel confident that you can make a change in your mobility

¿ Learn where and how to start exercising with MS

If you've tried physical therapy or other exercise programs in the past and they didn't help, it's not because of your MS, or your lack of effort. Those exercises didn't focus on improving the strength of your neural pathways in addition to your muscles. Once you learn the correct way to exercise with MS, you'll finally start seeing improvements in your mobility, energy, and confidence.
