The MS Gym: Introduction
Exercise With MS: Leg Weakness – Exercise 1
The posterior pelvic tilt helps you to rebalance your hips, activate your deep core, and improve your body alignment so you can walk better, move stronger, and reduce leg fatigue and weakness
Exercise With MS: Leg Weakness – Exercise 2
This exercise helps to strengthen the outer hip muscle called the glute medius. Strengthening your hips will help you to stand upright, balance better, and walk stronger even during an MS relapse or flare up.
Exercise With MS: Leg Weakness – Exercise 3
When your foot is weak, this exercise works the inner thigh called the adductor magnus. This muscle is important in helping you maintain balance, hip strength, and prevent injury to the knees, hips, and feet. This helps to reduce foot drop, ataxia, and falls.
Exercise With MS: Leg Weakness – Exercise 4
This exercise activates the psoas muscle which is commonly weak. The psoas is a major hip flexor which helps lift your leg with walking. If you have leg weakness or foot drop, you need to activate your psoas to restore your hip strength.
Exercise With MS: Leg Weakness – Exercise 5
This exercise is THE most poorly taught and poorly performed exercise in gyms and clinics across the globe… The Hip Bridge. Hip Bridging activates your glutes which help you walk better, keep your balance, and fight off leg weakness caused by MS.
