I just found you! Decided to scroll back and I’m starting here! Previous attempts have yielded poor compliance because they were too hard. So, HERE I AM! Joining you with high hopes!
Thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with MS in 2006. Now I am having trouble walking. I walk a lot slower now. I am looking for videos that van help me strengthen my legs and walk normally.
Thank you so much, i honestly don't have ms but I'm struggling to deal with depression and it got so bad that I barely did anything everyday so now I'm trying to start exercising but everything I find is too much for me, I'm too weak to do it so I need something small to start with and this has helped me thank you
Thank you so much.. Im glad I stumbled upon you. Ive been told for years that I had arthritis in my right leg and the left wad compensating for it. My legs ( left) legs have gotten severely worse. Im going to work it..
Thanks for making these videos, I was just Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I have been looking into eating better and and exercise to help me, I am usually positive but I have no energy and am trying not to give up.
Hi, I read your post and thought I might offer you a tip to improve your energy. I also have MS and have found that eating at least 3packed cups of greens a day (dark green lettuces,baby spimach, kale, etc) has made a big improvement for me. I also take vitamin b complex and eat lots of other veggies too. Trevors exercises will help even more! God bless!
Thank you for the video. I have had MS since Sept. 2002. It has slowed me down some but very manageable. My one leg has now become weaker and apparently dragging and now I'm walking with a limp as my leg feels longer. I haven't been exercising as I am tired after work. Realizing this is what is needed I searched online and found your videos. I will use your videos instead of visiting local physiotherapy.
Love the videos just wished there was some kind of a format that one can go to the beginning and start the program from No 1 then 2 and ext ext . for hip , balance and on on . This is a bit confusing since I don't know where about the program I am joining in. Thank you for all you do Trevor
Treavor, thank you so much for your passion and inspiration. From this one video I have learned a lot. I have PPMS and have the typical issues with walking, balance and overall weakness. I am looking forward to following this program and doing these exercises before work to get my body back in shape and regain some control of my body! Thank you!
DC Maine, my pleasure welcome to the family! So glad you are learning more. Here is what I would recommend: 1. Go watch the Walking Strong playlist in UA-cam 2. Join the MS Gym on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/themsgym 3. Download this Free program "Stretching To Reduce Spasticity": themsgym.mykajabi.com/pl/3141

Hi Trevor. Thanks for the videos. I wished I would have found you earlier. What modification do you suggest to keep the shoe from sliding away while doing the exercise? Jess
I have a condition called Cavernous Malformations which was diagnosed in 1994; I had them on my spinal cord and brain; I was doing pretty well until I developed one on my brain stem back in June of 2016. I developed CVA like symptoms which left me at the end of the day in a chemical coma for 18 days, later that day it left my airway too weak to stay open and they intubated me with an ET tube and placed me on a ventilator. They kept me in the chemical coma until the brain swelling went down, and they could do a craniotomy. I was in the healthcare system for 129 days; I de-conditioned severely and was discharged to home in a wheelchair; at 3 months my right leg was strong enough to remove a brace they had me on to prevent the knee from locking, and I was able to use a rolling walker. Fast-forward 9 months, now I am using a cane to walk. Unfortunately, I developed another Cavernous Malformation in my right PONS and I’m trying to recover balance and wonky gait issues. Cavernous Malformations mimic MS and I suffer from the severe tone and it is difficult to keep my balance without a cane and my gait is still wonky. Medication like Baclofen and Dantrium affects me neurologically and makes things much worse, so I stay away from those types of medication. Once upon a time from 2010 until 2016 just before the brain stem bleed, I controlled my spasticity exclusively with exercise only. I know I have de-conditioned severely so I understand I have a long road ahead of me, but finding your channel and the different exercises you demonstrate, hopefully, will get me back on the right track once again. Because of the lesions on the brain, the brain keeps my leg muscles very tight; I would describe it as severe tone.
Stay tuned, there will be a lot of material covering Hip Flexor Strength. If you are a member of The MS Gym on Facebook (facebook.com/groups/themsgym), check out the video on hip spasticity. I will also be posting a spasticity series on this channel over the next week.
THANK YOU! I do not have MS, but another degenerative neurological disorder that greatly effect the abilities to keep walking. I have personally improved my abilities with Pilates' - many of the same as you do. However, I have a member in the support group that I attend that has problems holding her legs up to do this (pelvic tilt) any ideas that just MAY work? Thanks
You're welcome David. I would have your friend look at the Hip Flexor series and go to www.ExerciseWithMS.com and download the free Stretching To Reduce Spasticity program.
My question is I'm very new to this whole thing and I am very large so I'm trying to find low impact exercises to help loose weight while also strengthening and lowering my symptoms. Will these help me loose weight or just help with the strengthening some of my weak spots? My back is the worst part for me so most general exercises for weight loss is too much for me to handle.
I’m 44 & I have MS. I’m currently in a flair. I used to go to the gym everyday to not being able to go at all. I can’t lift my arms that well, can’t stand for long. Need help with strengthening those muscles again. Thanks.
So thankful I found these videos. Working full time leaves little energy and time to focus on exercise to strengthen my left leg. Yet I know I must!Thank you Trevor
I've watched random videos of yours but now I'm getting serious! Yes, it is one of the devil's diseases as you said. But, as a Jesus folower, I can fight with confidence! Thank you for your dedication to helping folks like me. Ill let you know how it goes🙂
I found out I had PPMS a little less than a year ago. My EDDS is 4.5/ 5. My goal is a 1! Time to grind!
OMG how did I not know about this! I’ve had MS since 2007 and do Chair yoga daily, but this is amazing ! Like a personal trainer forMS! TY!
