About this Program
MS Wellness Program is for individuals living with multiple sclerosis. Their goal, working with community health partners, including the National MS Society Greater New England Chapter, is to help the participants develop long-term healthy habits that can mitigate symptoms and complications of MS. Although research shows that exercise will not slow the progression of the disease, it can decrease complications arising from muscular fatigue, weakness, and spasticity.
The Y’s MS Wellness program is facilitated by a nationally certified personal trainer who is trained by the National MS Society, Greater New England Chapter to better understand the needs of individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
