Listen "234. Why Manual Muscle Testing Could Miss Your Real Progress with MS"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’m diving into a heartfelt discussion inspired by a client’s experience with Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) and why traditional strength tests may not always reflect real progress when living with multiple sclerosis (MS). I share practical, research-driven strategies and MS-specific exercises that have helped my clients improve their mobility, walking, and overall strength—even when their medical tests didn’t show the full picture.
Tune in to discover why your own experiences and daily wins are just as important as what your doctor’s test results say, and learn simple ways to track your MS progress at home.
Whether you’re navigating MS symptoms or searching for effective physical therapy and exercise tips, this episode offers empowering advice to boost your quality of life and regain independence on your MS journey!
