We help individuals with multiple sclerosis maintain and improve functions by addressing issues such as spasticity, declining motor function, and sensory alteration. We build on whatever the patient currently can do, improving those abilities so that life is easier for them and independence can be maintained.
Our treatments can help people with neurological conditions achieve their personal goals of maximum fitness, function, and quality of life.
• Mobility in walking, climbing stairs, and physical transfer
• Hand and arm movements, such as grip strength, dexterity, eating, and drinking
• Balance and coordination to prevent falls
• Stiffness and tightness in muscles
• Pain control
Multiple Sclerosis Is An Autoimmune Disorder.
The immune system damages the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers. This
disrupts the signals traveling from the brain to other body parts.
