Summary

Has multiple sclerosis caused you to become fearful, frustrated, or overwhelmed because your walking or mobility isn’t improving? Dr. Gretchen Hawley's The MSing Link offers a comprehensive guide to taking control of your MS symptoms and improving your mobility through MS-specific exercises and strategies.

As a physical therapist and MS certified specialist, Dr. Hawley understands the unique challenges of MS and how to address them with neuroplasticity-based exercises. The MSing Link provides step-by-step instructions and helpful tips for reducing your MS symptoms while feeling empowered through MS exercises that focus on strengthening your neural pathways and your muscles.

After listening to The MSing Link, you'll have the tools to:

  • Improve your walking on even and uneven surfaces
  • Gain leg and core strength
  • Improve your balance and reduce falls
  • Reduce fatigue
  • Modify exercises based on how your MS affects you each day
  • Manage temperature sensitivity and sensation changes
  • Feel confident that you can make a change in your mobility
  • Learn where and how to start exercising with MS

If you’ve tried physical therapy or other exercise programs in the past and they didn’t help, it’s not because of your MS or lack of effort — it was the wrong type of exercise.

By focusing on strengthening your neural pathways in addition to your muscles, you'll finally start seeing improvements in your mobility, energy, and confidence. Dr. Hawley's expertise and experience make her an invaluable resource for anyone with MS looking to improve their quality of life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A must for anyone with MS

I follow Dr. Hawley on TikTok and I was very eager to purchase her book. I’ve had MS for 18 years and have had many rounds of physical therapy, but none tailored to someone with MS. I’m so incredibly grateful for Dr. Hawley and her focus on what helps people with MS. The advice and recommended exercises are backed by research and experience. I am confident I will return to the book and exercises over and over again as my disease changes.

A ray of hope

I find this audio book so inspiring. Previously, at hospital physio therapy, I’ve typically been given x amount of reps to do, so many times a day and then I’m discharged after 6-8 weeks…. However, Dr Gretchen tells me WHY each exercise is beneficial and how to tweak it, how to progress with it, what would be beneficial to do throughout my life in order to live as well as I can. She has given me the power and trusts that I have the wherewithal to use the knowledge. I absolutely love that I can return to this book again and again, not just a one off appointment (anyone else suffer with memory problems?!) whilst Dr Gretchen’s bright, happy, encouraging manner is a breath of fresh air. I believe every single person ever diagnosed should be given a copy of this! It’s a far cry from when I was diagnosed 21 years ago, when they just shrugged their shoulders and said ‘there’s nothing you can do’. Thank you Dr Gretchen! You are amazing!

So easy to follow, such a positive outlook

I like the way that it makes me feel good about myself, even by of I’m not able to move as much as I’d like. It’s encouraging me to do more and I’m finding it easier to keep going with my exercises.
Thanks so much Dr. Gretchen
