The Complete Multiple Sclerosis Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Guide
A comprehensive, physiotherapist-led guide designed to help people living with Multiple Sclerosis better understand their condition, stay active, manage symptoms and make the most of physiotherapy and rehabilitation at every stage.
Created by Tom Morgan, BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy, HCPC Registered & Chartered Physiotherapist, this 353-page digital guide brings together practical MS education, physiotherapy, exercise, symptom management and self-management strategies in one detailed resource.
Whether you are newly diagnosed and still highly active, experiencing changes in walking, balance or fatigue, recovering from a relapse, using mobility aids or living with more significant physical disability, the guide is designed so you can go directly to the sections that are relevant to you.
Inside the guide

Built around different levels of ability
There is no single exercise programme that is right for everyone with MS.
The exercise library therefore progresses from very accessible bed and seated exercises through supported standing, strengthening and balance exercises to gym-based strength training, cardiovascular exercise, agility and higher-level rehabilitation.
You are not expected to complete all 91 exercises. The guide helps you identify the exercises and strategies most relevant to your current ability, symptoms and goals.
A guide you can keep coming back to
MS can change over time, so this is not designed as a short programme that you complete once.
Use it when you are newly diagnosed, when a symptom changes, when you want to understand your treatment, when you are rebuilding after a relapse, when you want to improve your strength or fitness, or simply when you need to find an appropriate exercise for how you are functioning today.

This guide is intended for adults with Multiple Sclerosis for general education and information. It does not replace individual assessment, diagnosis or treatment from your neurologist, MS nurse, GP or physiotherapist.
