Living with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) can present a wide range of challenges, from changes in mobility to fatigue, muscle weakness, and balance issues. While the condition affects everyone differently, the right rehabilitation can make a significant difference — helping people maintain independence and continue doing the activities they value most.
At Vim Health, our approach to rehabilitation for MS is personalised, progressive, and rooted in evidence-based neuro rehab practices. We focus on maximising function, preserving strength, and adapting strategies to meet each person’s unique needs.
The role of physiotherapy in MS management
Physiotherapy plays an essential role in supporting movement and managing symptoms. It can help:
- Maintain or improve muscle strength
- Enhance balance and coordination
- Reduce stiffness and improve joint flexibility
- Support safe and efficient walking
We use a combination of manual therapy, stretching, strengthening exercises, and gait training to keep people moving well. Our specialist rehabilitation equipment — such as robotic gait trainers, LiteGait or the Lyra — provide targeted therapy to optimise functional outcomes.
Occupational therapy for everyday living
Occupational therapy focuses on adapting daily tasks and environments to make life easier. For someone living with MS, this may include:
- Energy conservation strategies to manage fatigue
- Recommendations for assistive devices or home modifications
- Techniques to improve fine motor skills for dressing, cooking, or work tasks
- Planning routines to balance activity and rest
These interventions support independence and help people continue engaging with meaningful activities.
Managing symptoms and preventing decline
MS symptoms can fluctuate, and proactive rehabilitation helps manage flare-ups while preventing deconditioning. Regular therapy can improve cardiovascular fitness, maintain muscle mass, and boost mental wellbeing.
We also work closely with clients to monitor changes over time and adapt their programmes as needed, ensuring rehabilitation remains relevant and effective.
Why a personalised approach matters
No two MS journeys are the same. That’s why every rehabilitation plan at Vim Health starts with a comprehensive assessment — enabling us to design therapy that’s both achievable and challenging. By combining physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and state-of-the-art rehabilitation technology, we can help clients achieve their goals, whether that’s walking further, climbing stairs more easily, or managing daily routines with less fatigue.
At Vim Health, we believe that living with MS should never mean giving up on your goals. Our team is here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live well.
