Dance to Reduce Symptoms #shorts

One of my favorite MS physical therapy treatment techniques for my in-person clients is dancing the foxtrot 💃 to Frank Sinatra!

Hear me out 🪩…

There's MS research showing the benefits of ballroom dancing for improving mobility & walking in people with MS - and it's easy to see why!

The foxtrot requires:
🤸‍♀️ balance
🕺 coordination
💪 strength
🏃‍♀️ speed changes
🦶 stepping in different directions

...all things that are ALSO required throughout our day-to-day life for things like walking, climbing stairs, and daily movement!

Not only that, but it's FUN and always puts a huge smile on my client’s face 🤩 (and mine)!

So, yeah... I'd pick a fun Frank Sinatra song, press play ⏯️ and my patient and I would dance it out!

It was so effective that I implemented dance classes inside of The MSing Link lead by a ballroom dancer! My cheeks seriously hurt from smiling SO much after each class 🤣!!

Let yourself have some fun when you're exercising to improve mobility.

You deserve it!
