Understanding Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). The immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath covering the nerve fibers, which disrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. This disruption can cause a wide range of unpredictable symptoms.

  • While once considered rare, studies show the prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis is increasing in India, highlighting the critical need for specialized, long-term rehabilitation services.
  • There are several types of MS, with the most common being Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS), characterized by periods of symptom flare-ups (relapses) followed by periods of recovery (remissions). Other forms, like Progressive MS, involve a more steady progression of symptoms over time. Our therapy is always tailored to your specific diagnosis and current needs.

The Goal of MS Rehabilitation: A Proactive Partnership

The goal of rehabilitation for MS is to be a proactive, problem-solving partnership. We aim to restore function lost during a relapse, maximize your abilities during remission, help you adapt to any progressive changes, and provide you with powerful lifelong strategies for managing your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I was told exercise can make my MS worse. Is that true?

This is a common myth based on a misunderstanding. While over-exertion or getting overheated during exercise can cause a temporary worsening of symptoms, carefully prescribed exercise is one of the most beneficial things you can do to manage MS. Our specialist therapists know exactly how to dose exercise to build your strength and endurance safely without causing a flare-up.

What is a relapse and can rehabilitation help?

A relapse is the appearance of new symptoms or the worsening of old ones, lasting for more than 24 hours. Once the relapse is medically managed by your neurologist (often with steroids), rehabilitation is crucial. Intensive therapy can help you recover function lost during the relapse and get you back to your baseline as quickly as possible.

How can you help with the fatigue when nothing else seems to work?

The key is a two-pronged approach that we specialize in. First, we teach you how to budget your energy throughout the day, just like you would budget your money (Energy Conservation). Second, we build up your physical fitness with a gentle, progressive exercise program. As your body becomes stronger and more efficient, daily tasks require less energy, which leaves you with more in your "tank."

My MS symptoms seem to change every day. How can you create a consistent plan?

This is the reality of living with MS, and our therapy is designed for it. We create a flexible plan with different options. On a "good day," we might focus on challenging strengthening exercises. On a "low-energy day," the focus might shift to gentle stretching, breathing exercises, and strategy sessions. The key is consistent engagement, adapting the activity to match your daily capacity.
