Physical therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS) is an ongoing process which can help minimize the debilitating effects of the condition. At STEPS, we compliment traditional forms of treatment with our range of robotic and computerized rehabilitation tools. For all stages of MS, physical therapy has been shown to improve the quality of life by conditioning muscles and improving key body movements. However, implementing robotic tools into these therapy routines has resulted in even more positive feedback and results from our multiple sclerosis patients.

About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a long-lasting disease that can affect your brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in your eyes. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions. The effects are often different for everyone who has the disease. MS happens when your immune system attacks a fatty material called myelin, which wraps around your nerve fibres to protect them. Without this outer shell, your nerves become damaged. Scar tissue may form.

STEPS Approach
With our MS patients, we essentially determine the best treatment for each patient individually. MS treatment is intense, effective and aims to allow all functionality to return after an attack as well as prevent disability.
