#24 Fitness? Strength? How Physios Prescribe Exercises for MS (PART 1)

Aerobic, strength, flexibility, balance... did you know that these are all different kinds of exercises?

And as physios, choosing the right kind of exercise is just as (well, almost) important as exercising in the first place.

This is especially the case for people living with conditions like multiple sclerosis, where addressing certain problems through exercise depends on exercise prescription.

Tune in today as we break down the differences between aerobic (aka fitness/cardiovascular), vs strength (aka resistance) training for people living with MS.
