In this podcast my guest is Neurophysiotherapist, Researcher Dr Andrea Stennett. We discussed the role of physical exercises to preserve brain health living with Multiple sclerosis (MS). How it does affect brain anatomy and biology of the brain function/inflammatory markers and responses. We covered the role and impact of exercises on MS disease activity and disability. Does it prevent from having more MS relapses and increase disability? During the discussion we covered what is the role of exercises and neuroplasticity (the ability of the nervous system to change it's activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganising its structure, functions, or connections after injuries) Do we have strong evidence of Virtual reality to improve neuroplasticity in MS? What is limitation of MS exercises research studies? Why so many studies are focused on patients who are more mobile and less disabled. Andrea reveals what is the minimum people with MS can do to maintain the physical and brain function, what are the exercise guidelines for patients with MS? How often and when people with MS should exercise? How and if people with MS are affected by Covid 19 pandemic physically? Have people with MS become deconditioned over the COVID 19 pandemic? How to recover from increased disability?
As a physiotherapist what has she learned from pwMS in COVID 19 Pandemic? Have people been creative and found some healthy physical attitudes, behaviours and simple methods to keep active physically. We talked about common physical struggles that people with MS find is frustrating: foot drop and what help can they receive and achieve by themselves, what about hand weakness? How to overcome this? We discussed a number of key practical messages for people with MS, their families and carers, MS specialists (neurologists, nurses, therapist). Stay tuned in and we hope you will enjoy this!

Unlocking the Power of Exercise for Your Brain: Insights from Dr. Andrea Stennett on Optimizing Your MS Fitness Plan"
27 DEC 2022 · Join us in this episode as we dive into the important topic of physical exercise and its impact on preserving brain health when living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Our special guest, Neurophysiotherapist and Researcher Dr. Andrea Stennett, shares her insights on how physical exercise can affect brain anatomy, biology, function, and inflammatory markers and responses in MS patients.We explore the role of exercise in managing MS disease activity and disability, and whether it can prevent relapses and increase disability. We also discuss the crucial role of exercise in neuroplasticity, and the use of virtual reality to improve neuroplasticity in MS patients.Despite the numerous studies on the effects of exercise on MS, we address the limitations of these studies, including their focus on more mobile and less disabled patients. Andrea shares her expertise on the minimum physical and brain function requirements for MS patients, as well as exercise guidelines and frequency.In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also touch upon the physical effects of the pandemic on MS patients and how to recover from increased disability. As a physiotherapist, Andrea shares what she has learned from MS patients during the pandemic and how they have found healthy physical attitudes, behaviours, and simple methods to stay active.We also discuss common physical struggles that people with MS find frustrating, such as foot drop and hand weakness, and provide helpful tips on how to overcome these challenges. Finally, we conclude with a number of key practical messages for people with MS, their families and carers, and MS specialists such as neurologists, nurses, and therapists.Don't miss this insightful episode packed with useful tips and practical advice for managing MS through physical exercise. Tune in and join us in building a healthier and more resilient future for MS patients.55m 34s
