Home Visit Physiotherapy for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
What is a Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that has a long history. It affects the central nervous systems, such as the brain and the spinal cord. The immune system attacks the protective sheath around nerve fibres and disrupts communication between the body and brain. This damage can cause a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness and spasticity. It can also lead to visual disturbances, bladder problems, numbness and coordination issues. MS can affect individuals differently. Symptoms may be mild or severe, and they may appear as relapsing episodes. Physiotherapy is essential in managing MS, improving mobility and maintaining function.
Common Challenges with Multiple Sclerosis
Muscle Weakness and Fatigue
Many individuals with MS experience persistent fatigue and muscle weakness, which can limit mobility and endurance in daily activities.
Balance and Coordination Issues
MS affects the nervous system’s ability to control movement, often leading to poor balance, unsteadiness, and risk of falls.
Spasticity and Muscle Stiffness
Increased muscle tone or spasms can interfere with normal movement patterns, posture, and comfort.
Visual and Sensory Disturbances
Blurred vision, numbness, or tingling sensations are common and may affect safe navigation and body awareness.
Mobility and Gait Problems
As MS progresses, walking can become increasingly difficult due to nerve signal disruption and muscle control issues.
Emotional and Cognitive Changes
Depression, memory difficulties, or slowed thinking can accompany physical symptoms and complicate rehabilitation efforts.
