You're Not Failing #shorts

[00:00:00]I had a patient with MS who sometimes came to the physical therapy clinic ready for a full strengthening workout together. And other days, the pain in her legs was so intense that we had to do passive stretching from a lying down position. It didn't mean that she was backsliding. It just meant that her nervous system needed something different that day. So, when I got this message from an online missing link member last week saying, "I don't get it. I was doing great and now I can barely get through the day. What am I doing wrong?" I wanted to scream this message from the rooftops. MS is complex and it doesn't move in a straight line.

[00:00:38]If something worked last month or last week but doesn't today, that doesn't mean that you failed. It means that your nervous system is asking for something different. Progress with MS isn't about perfection. It's about learning how to respond with curiosity instead of criticism. I know that's easier said than done, but I'm here to help. Comment challenge if you want a great intro onto how to approach fluctuations that come with MS through my free 5-day MS strength challenge.
