FREE Webinar | Active Living with MS
March is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month! MS affects the brain and spinal cord and can be a potentially disabling disease.
There are over 1 million people living with MS in the US and they experience symptoms such as pain, weakness, fatigue, muscle spasms, stiffness, impaired vision, dizziness and balance issues. Although the cause of the disease is still unknown and there is currently no cure, there are a lot of effective treatments to alleviate symptoms and keep hope alive.
Our Activator poles are helping MS patients walk taller, prouder and more confidently everyday! Walking with poles provides 4 points rather than 2 and the bells tips provide an extra measure of balance and stability. That’s a winning formula because the reduced fear of falling, encourages those living with MS to walk more frequently and for greater distances. Other health benefits include improved gait, posture, and core strength and lower levels of anxiety, fatigue and depression. The poles are also stylish which changes perception from disability to ability and is also a motivating factor to use them daily.
Let’s do our part by promoting awareness of MS and empower people living with the disease to live life to its fullest. Be sure to tune into our upcoming webinar on Thursday March 21, 2024 at 1 pm (EST) hosted by our very own, Dr. Joy Cochran, DPT and featuring Vanessa Mueller. Click on the link to register and be prepared to be informed and get inspired! As Vanessa says, “The poles just make me so much more confident when I’m walking. They help to normalize the disease.” We couldn’t be prouder!
