Multiple Sclerosis
Description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the body's immune system attacks the myelin sheathing, a fatty substance that surrounds nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord. This attack causes inflammation and damage to the nerve fibres, which can lead to a range of symptoms. The symptoms of MS vary from person to person but may include muscle weakness, numbness or tingling, loss of balance, vision problems, and difficulty with coordination and walking. While there is currently no cure for MS, various treatments and therapies can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Massage therapy can be a helpful complementary treatment for those with multiple sclerosis (MS) in maintaining their quality of life and managing symptoms such as spasticity, pain, and fatigue. Additionally, massage therapy may help to improve mood and decrease anxiety and depression. While it cannot cure MS, regular massage therapy sessions can be an effective way to manage symptoms and improve overall well-being. Wondering what service option is the best for MS?
