Staying active

However multiple sclerosis affects you, exercise can help you stay as healthy as possible. Exercising can also improve your mood and some MS symptoms.

All kinds of movement can be good for you. You might enjoy sports, while someone else may prefer tai chi or yoga. Gentler activities like gardening and cleaning use your muscles too.

The important thing is to find exercises to suit you. You can find more information on staying active with MS or other long-term health conditions on the We Are Undefeatable website.
