Have you recently had an ATTACK of MS that’s left you feeling weak or unable to do the things you used to do?
or
Is it getting HARDER to lift your toes, rise to a standing position, or walk up stairs?
If you’re like most people reading this, you are clearly interested in becoming more active, mobile, and independent. If you’re like all the other patients that we have helped, then right now you feel hopeless and lost. Like the system has failed you. And that is because it has!
Doctors are restricted in the amount of time they can spend with you because of the current health care systems and large corporate restrictions. And there is no-one else to fill the gap to get you the support and help you need. Doctors are forced to self refer to other large corporate clinics who further the headaches and broaden the lack of support.
Many of our clients say things to us like:
“I am always afraid of falling and getting badly injured.”
and…
“I wish there was something more I could do for my MS.”
If you’re walking with a limp or having back pain while standing for long periods of time, it is VERY serious. These types of pains and aches can lead to long-term chronic pain. And if you do not DO SOMETHING about it now, then it can lead to long-lasting pain or immobility, which can be very difficult to reverse.
We are gait experts, meaning we specialize in observing gait (walking) and then strengthening the muscles needed to impact the problems we see while observing. We have been doing it for 10 years and are very specialized to help you get back to doing the things you love.
Have you ever been told or thought…
Many of our patients do mention their MS symptoms to their friends, maybe family, and sometimes even doctors. Sometimes, they are met with the same responses: pity and little-to-no advice or recommendations. “The disease has just progressed.”
So, they accept the “fact” that there is nothing they can do. This can create bad habits, because doing nothing often leads to weaker muscles and worse balance.
Chances are you have also been told things like “you will never be able to do that again” or “I think you should just start using the wheelchair (or walker) from now on.” That is just NOT ALWAYS TRUE.
