Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Rehabilitation is a specialised physiotherapy approach designed to help individuals manage the physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges associated with MS — a progressive neurological condition that affects the central nervous system. Symptoms vary widely and may include fatigue, muscle weakness, spasticity, balance issues, mobility difficulties, and cognitive changes. Rehabilitation aims to improve function, promote independence, and enhance quality of life at every stage of the condition.

MS is caused by damage to the protective covering (myelin) of nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord. This disrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to:

  • Mobility and coordination difficulties
  • Muscle stiffness, spasms, or weakness
  • Fatigue and reduced endurance
  • Bladder and bowel dysfunction
  • Cognitive and emotional changes
  • Speech and swallowing problems

These symptoms can fluctuate and progress over time, making ongoing rehabilitation essential.

AAt Physio Matters, our MS Rehabilitation Programme is tailored to each individual and may include:

  • Strength and mobility training to maintain or improve physical function
  • Balance and gait re-education to reduce fall risk
  • Stretching and spasticity management
  • Fatigue management strategies
  • Postural care and seating advice
  • Pelvic floor exercises for bladder control
  • Education and support for self-management

We work collaboratively with clients to support long-term wellbeing, prevent complications, and promote active participation in daily life.

If you or someone you care for is living with MS, we’re here to help. Contact us to book an assessment or speak to one of our team.
