PODCAST SUMMARY

Not long ago, people with MS were told to go home, rest, and not overexerted themselves. Through the work of both patient advocates and exercise researchers. We now know this advice to go home and rest is not only wrong, but potentially harmful. Current data demonstrates that exercise and movement in people with Ms is associated with improved cognition, mood, fatigue, and improved progression outcomes.

In many sessions, I've found myself sitting with people, living with MS, who wanted to get back to exercise, but had fears or worries about how to get back into it or were having a lot of struggles with motivation.

In this episode course, you learn about the importance of exercise, help your patients learn to exercise safely, when to refer to professionals, to help patients manage and reduce fears around topics like fatigue or heat sensitivity, and to help your clients problem solve through the challenges of staying active with multiple sclerosis.

Our experts include: 

• Daryl Kucera - Founder and Director of MS Forward, lives with MS
