Learn how to perfect seated marching with MS physiotherapist Dr Gretchen Hawley
Everyone who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis knows that a specialised physiotherapy plan is the key to maintaining a better lifestyle. Often, these tailored schemes pin-point specific everyday movements that people with the condition find more difficult.
Sometimes, people with an MS diagnosis find it difficult to lift their legs up. Without the strength and ability to do this, they can find it hard to get out of the car, up from a seat and everything in between.
That’s why the seated marching exercise is so important! In this video, Dr Gretchen Hawley, a physical therapy expert who specialises in the management of MS patients and founder of the MSing Link, talks through the steps for marching properly.
The step-by-step guide will help you to perfect the movement now to make life easier in the future!
If this has got you wanting more, Gretchen has also created a step-by-step guide to standing up from a chair. You can find the video here!
On Wednesday 27 March, we are hosting a webinar with Dr Gretchen Hawley on movement and exercise with chronic illnesses. You can sign up here!
