Multiple Sclerosis: Overcoming foot drop & running again with MS
Multiple Sclerosis: overcoming foot drop & running again with MS. Foot drop is one of the most common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) we work with. Unlike many aids for foot drop, our clients often progress to no longer needing the device whereas many other options are worn permanently. By improving the control over the muscle, at a certain point the device is no longer needed. For Bec, this took us just a few days (you can watch her progress on our social media pages).

One of the most common questions we get asked is “what happens when I go home?”
Understanding triggers is key to developing appropriate strategies to maintain the results we achieve with FND.
