Besides improving mobility and strength, exercise therapy improves daily living, quality of life, and even the mood of MSers who participate.
What about fatigue? There is a theory that aerobic exercise might fight fatigue even though exercise usually heats up the body, and for MSers heat often results in fatigue. Hmm. Sounds like a vicious circle. Maybe not.
The University of Buffalo is researching that very question. Their study will determine "the effects of a 12-week aerobic exercise program on fitness, core and skin temperature, and heat flux in MS patients."
And here's something for everyone to consider. What you eat after aerobic exercise makes a difference in the benefits you get.
Be careful, stay cool, eat right, and stay fit!
