Multiple sclerosis can manifest in many ways at different stages of life, reducing mobility, causing pain and affecting quality of life. Our Cairns multiple sclerosis physiotherapists are trained in the assessment and management of multiple sclerosis symptoms. We’ll treat your unique situation and support you to reclaim your independence.
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease which affects the central nervous system and its ability to effectively send signals around the body. It appears most commonly in people between the ages of 20 and 40, affecting around three times as many women as it does men. Multiple sclerosis can be responsible for a range of issues, affecting motor control, balance and coordination and causing fatigue, pain and muscle weakness.
Multiple sclerosis causes vastly different symptoms in different people. Our qualified Cairns multiple sclerosis physiotherapists will first complete a comprehensive assessment with you to determine your unique symptoms. Common assessments include balance tests, manual muscle tests, fitness and mobility assessments and questionnaires to determine activity levels, sleep quality and pain levels.
After your initial assessment, our Cairns multiple sclerosis physiotherapists analyse your results and compile a personalised treatment plan. Depending on your specific symptoms, we may employ exercise programs to improve strength and overall independence of movement, and advice on self-managing specific symptoms. We also provide support by communicating these requirements to carers or other professionals to establish a holistic and coordinated care approach.
No two patients with multiple sclerosis are the same, the very nature of the condition causing myriad health issues and symptoms. Depending on the type and severity of symptoms, our Cairns multiple sclerosis physiotherapists use treatments including:
