The Ultimate MS Mobility Course
This course covers the physiological challenges that people living with MS face when trying to exercise. You will learn how to manage fatigue, neuromuscular fatigue, heat sensitivity, and temporary symptom exacerbation. More importantly, this course will provide you with practical gait rehab knowledge that you can immediately incorporate into clinical practice. Providing comprehensive teaching for all mobility levels, from the minimally impaired to those only able to walk a few steps with an aide. The education is delivered via a combination of lectures, group case study work and practical demonstrations.
Some comments from attendees:
“Completing the MHGHS online course and the Ultimate Mobility Course really feels like it is the missing link in my knowledge in regards of how best to help my clients with MS.”
“Breaking it into the 3 EDSS levels gave really good time to process the info and then revise via adjacent guidelines within the session. I feel like I have retained a good amount of the info.”
“It was very interactive, so it made it easier for me to process all the new information.”
“I feel more confident and knowledgeable now about being able to safely guide my MS clients with safe exercise volumes and intensities.”
“I thought the schedule was fantastic. Really loved moving from higher to lower level ability clients and having real life examples was great. Easily one of my favourite courses I’ve done.”
