Let’s say you have MS and when you try to lift your hip, knee, or ankle... nothing happens.

No movement at all 🙅🏼‍♀️.

Is it worth it to exercise that body part or should you move on to a different exercise where you DO see movement 🤷🏼‍♀️?

Research shows it is IMPERATIVE that you still attempt to do the exercises where you don't see any movement.

With every attempt, your brain tries to find a new way to make that movement work 🧠(it may take a while, but it can happen).

One strategy to help out is to use a resistance band for assistance, but ONLY use the band for one round of the exercises — then NO band for your 2nd round… this is very important 👇🏼

The reason for this is because your brain + the connect between your brain and your muscles (aka: your neural pathways 🧠) work HARDER when the exercise is more challenging...

...yes, even if your leg isn't moving.

And the more EFFORT your brain & neural pathways are putting in... the more likely you'll see an improvement in the lift/movement of your leg.

Which is the end goal 👌 that leads to better walking, stair climbing, you name it!

— bending your knee
— lifting your ankle
— something else?!
