MS Patients May Benefit From Yoga

A yoga program designed specifically for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) improves walking ability, balance, fatigue, and general health status, and might even help control inflammation, a new pilot study suggests.

The results add weight to the importance of physical activity in MS patients, said lead study author Evan T. Cohen, PhD, a physical therapist and associate professor, Rutgers School of Health Related Professions, the State University of New Jersey, Stratford.
“Neurologists should be recommending exercise to their MS patients, and if a patient chooses yoga, that’s a viable option, depending on that person’s needs.”
