Can Myotherapy Help With Multiple Sclerosis?

25/2/2020

6 Comments

 
Have you or someone you love been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis? The symptoms of this condition can range from uncomfortable to debilitating.

But the good news is that manual therapy techniques that fall under the scope of myotherapy can help to alleviate some of these symptoms.

Let’s take a look at how myotherapy can help with multiple sclerosis.

Picture

What is multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system.

‘Sclerosis’ means ‘scars’, which occur throughout the central nervous system. These scars interfere with the nerve impulses within the brain, the spinal cord and the optic nerves. 

Because the scars can occur anywhere throughout the central nervous system, different symptoms can manifest.

Over 25,000 Australians have been diagnosed with MS. Most are diagnosed between the ages of 20-40, but it can occur in people who are younger or older. Women are far more likely to be diagnosed with MS.

What are the symptoms of multiple sclerosis?
Because multiple sclerosis can occur throughout the nervous system, there is a wide range of symptoms that people with MS may experience. No two cases are the same. 

However, symptoms will typically fall under five main categories:
  • Motor control issues – including muscle spasms, weakness, poor coordination and balance, particularly in the arms and legs
  • Fatigue
  • Neurological (nerve-related) symptoms – including vertigo, pins and needs, neuralgia (nerve pain) and visual disturbances
  • Neuro-psychological symptoms – including depression, memory loss and difficulties with cognition
  • Continence – including bladder incontinence and constipation

How can myotherapy help with multiple sclerosis?
This can really depend on the primary symptoms you’re looking to manage. However, myotherapy has a diverse range of tools and techniques that may help to minimise symptoms related to motor control, fatigue and neurological issues.

Some of the symptoms myotherapy may help to relieve include:
  • Muscle pain and fatigue
  • Nerve pain
  • Numbness
  • Tingling sensations
  • Pins and needles

Massage and multiple sclerosis
One of myotherapy’s tools that has some promising research to back it up is massage therapy. 

There have been several small studies into the benefits of massage therapy for MS. They found that massage therapy was able to relieve pain, fatigue and quality of life.

One study found that massage was more effective at relieving symptoms compared to exercise therapy. It also suggested that combining massage with exercise therapy could have even greater benefits.

Managing multiple sclerosis symptoms with Simple Wellness Myotherapy
Here are Simple Wellness Myotherapy, we have had patient outcomes such as:
  • Resolving a two year persistent headache and preventing it from returning
  • Reducing constant tingling and vibration in the neck and shoulder area, with some periods of time where the symptom goes away entirely
  • Improving muscle fatigue levels in the legs, allowing the patient to spend longer periods of time standing or walking

Every case of MS is unique, so we cannot guarantee that you will achieve the same results. But we can say that our practitioners are experienced when it comes to MS, and will go the extra mile to help you find as much relief as possible.

Simple Wellness Myotherapy also works as a healthcare provider for those receiving employment assistance through MS Employment Services. If you are receiving employment assistance, you can have a chat with your Occupational Therapist to see if myotherapy can be incorporated into your package.

After my Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2014, I was introduced to Herbal HealthPoint and their effective Multiple Sclerosis treatment. I immediately started on the protocol, it relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. Visit ww w. herbalhealthpoint. c om. First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, I recovered from the horrible disease.

My first symptom of Multiple Sclerosis was when I was 16 years old. The main symptom was about 30 years later when I went blind. I had many symptoms through my life, but wasn’t tested for MS until the blindness. I’ve had problems with fatigue and balance. Thank God for leading me to BEST HEALTH HERBAL CENTRE, please don’t ignore this post is real. Best Health Herbal Centre MS herbal remedy reversed my condition totally within 6 weeks of usage only. No side effect, it works like a miracle..

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 1 month after I turned 50. My grandma is 96 and had it since she was in her 20s. I have been on WORLDHERBSCLINIC MS HERBAL FORMULA, the first TWO MONTHS was daily and now I am on 3 times a week. It has made a tremendous difference for me. The fatigue never gets to me again. When I do too much, I don’t feel weak anymore..

I was diagnosed of Multiple Sclerosis a couple of years ago, I had severe fatigue, difficulty with mobility and sleeping. I was given medications which helped but only for a short while. So i decided to try alternative measures and began on MS HERBAL TREATMENT from Kykuyu Health Clinic, It made a tremendous difference for me (Go to www. kykuyuhealthclinic .com). I had improved walking balance, muscle strength and improved vision

I was a patient diagnosed with MS and I'm living proof that you can be cured from multiple sclerosis. I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in 2020, after finally receiving the MRI I had been waiting on for years. The MRI showed that I had a lot of lesions on my spine, more than I could count, but only three on my brain, two of which looked active. The neurologist explained that the lesions on my spine attribute to my physical disability. My mobility was seriously affected afterwards so I was glad I could rest on my sofa, I would have struggled to walk out of the hospital and the car ride home would have been painful. I was cured naturally with the use of Dr Sims Gomez Herbs A Clinic with model Herbal Formula, within three weeks I was recovering. In 2021 I began seeing Dr Gomez Sims, who specializes in internal and pulmonary medicine at drsimsgomezherbs. com).
