Multiple Sclerosis: Contemporary Rehabilitation and
Wellness Applied (Recorded Webinar)
Presented by Mike Studer
“You could make your condition worse.” “They will work you too hard.” “They don’t know how much is too much.” Have you heard or even said these very words in the context of exercise and physical activity for persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS)? Learn the facts and debunk the myths about MS in this webinar from Dr. Mike Studer. Dr. Studer will review and advance your clinical practice for PwMS on the topics of neuroplasticity, disease phenotypes, disease modification, exercise, lifelong management, and related conditions that present like MS (FND, Lyme, chronic fatigue, and more). Prepare to be challenged in some of your own understandings and beliefs about one of the most common degenerative diseases in the United States.
Learning Objectives
- Generalize contemporary science regarding phenotypes and MS-like conditions in rehabilitation examination, programming, and education in order to improve client participation in daily activities
- Integrate contemporary science regarding exercise dosage in PwMS
- Develop rehabilitation programs that leverage opportunities both within and outside of the nervous system for PwMS
- Design wellness programming appropriate for PwMS
