MS & Massage

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition & the diagram below clearly shows the damage that occurs in the myelin which is a protective sheath surrounding the nerve fibres of the Central Nervous System (CNS):-

As a result messages get scrambled & as there are no clear pathways this may affects movements. It can also result in poor mobility, pain & impaired cognitive abilities.
