The therapeutic exercises available in the community like Tai Chi, Yoga, Aquatics, and Pilates can improve balance, reduce stress and calm the mind while improving muscle tone and range of motion. Among the array of benefits are increased self-confidence, improved physical health, opportunity to make new friends, and a better all-around outlook on life!
Art therapy and horticulture therapy activities are additional programs available in the community providing therapeutic benefits. Creating art can be a non-threatening way to connect with one’s inner self, relieve tension and be a powerful aid in managing the challenges of MS. Participants need no previous art experience or artistic talent. Horticulture therapy offers relief from physical and cognitive limitations, reduces stress, gently exercises aging or arthritic joints, and stimulates memory. Caring for plants inspires hope.
