Benefits of MS Physical Therapy in Mesa
Physical therapy can help MS patients in many ways, including:
Improving Mobility and Balance
MS can cause weakness, spasticity, and ataxia, which can make walking and maintaining balance difficult. Our physical therapists can help improve muscle strength, coordination, and balance through targeted exercises and activities.
Reducing Pain and Discomfort
MS can cause pain and discomfort, which can be addressed through physical therapy. Our physical therapists can use a variety of techniques, such as manual therapy and modalities like heat or ice, to reduce pain and improve comfort.
Improving Flexibility and Range of Motion
MS can cause stiffness and limited range of motion in joints, making everyday activities challenging. Our physical therapists can help improve joint flexibility and range of motion through stretching exercises and other techniques.
Enhancing Endurance and Fitness
MS can cause fatigue, which can limit physical activity and overall quality of life. Our physical therapists can develop an exercise program to enhance endurance and fitness, helping patients better manage fatigue and improve overall health.
