Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is a condition that affects the nervous system of the body. It is a chronic and progressive disease that causes damage to the protective covering of the nerves, known as myelin. As a result, the communication between the brain and the body is disrupted, leading to a range of symptoms.
The symptoms of MS can vary greatly from person to person, and can include issues with vision, mobility, balance, fatigue, and cognitive function. These symptoms can impact a person's ability to perform daily activities, leading to decreased independence and quality of life.
At Advance Therapy, our team of skilled allied health professionals, including physiotherapists and occupational therapists, can work with individuals who have been diagnosed with MS to help manage their symptoms and improve their overall function. Our tailored programs can include exercises and physical therapy to maintain physical capacity, communication strategies to maintain functional communication, and home modifications and equipment recommendations to support independence in daily activities.
We believe that every individual with MS should have access to the care and support they need to live their best life, and our team at Advance Therapy is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their goals and maintain their independence.
