De: Dr. Gretchen Hawley

Narrado por: Dr. Gretchen Hawley

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.

Best Physical Therapy help for MS I have ever had

Dr Gretchen really explains the ways that different body parts and symptoms are connected. I had gone through physical therapy before in person and my therapist was not an MS certified specialist - there is a huge difference. Dr G explains exercises that are so effective at getting my walking and stair climbing back to a normal state. Before I was diagnosed with this disease , I was a complete gym rat. This has been the first teaching / audio instructions that I am progressing back to walking and climbing stairs again. If you have MS or someone you love does, this book will help you more than you can imagine. This has helped me see the disease as just a period of time I needed to slow down and how to get myself to the next level.

Dr. Gretchen is the BEST!

The MSing Link Audiobook is helpful for anyone living with MS. It is relatable, encouraging, and easy to comprehend. I am looking forward to implementing the exercises and techniques that are shared in this book. Hearing stories from other individuals, dealing with the same symptoms and listening to their achievements is giving me so much hope. Thank you Dr. Gretchen, and I’m looking forward to learning more!

Exercises

Dr Gretchen explained all the exercises the right way to do them and why it is important for people with MS. Her FAQ answered questions that I found that I too had the same questions.

Great Resource for Functional MS Exercises...

In her new book, The MSing Link, Gretchen Hawley shares the functional exercises she teaches in her own MS Physical Therapy practice. She breaks down these exercises into simple, easy-to-follow steps that can be incorporated into your daily routine.

Pictures of the exercises/stretches are included with the audio book in a PDF file - so when you're listening to Gretchen describing how to do the movements, you can view the pictures of the exercises at the same time.

After being told for years by numerous PTs that functional exercise and therapy won't address my MS symptoms, Dr. Gretchen's MSing Link program has given me a renewed sense of hope.

Best MS PT guide and support

I have been dealing with MS conditions for over six years and Gretchen Hawley’s instruction and MS explanations have helped me progress and work with my MS instead of against! A must read for anyone who suffers with MS. 

An Extraordinary Book!

I highly recommend The MSing Link book by Dr. Gretchen Hawley. Her practical application of HOW to use neuroplasticity-based functional exercise to manage MS is extraordinary. Dr Gretchen reinforces the importance of defining our WHY, and what specifically we want to accomplish, igniting our motivation to consistently participate in the exercises.
This exercise approach designed by Dr. Gretchen Hawley can improve the quality of your life. Dr. Gretchen’s motivational and encouraging guidance provides immense hope. This book is for both those who have MS, as well as the individuals who love them. Thank you, Dr. Gretchen you are truly a gifted author providing a pathway of Hope.

Valuable Information

This is a must have book for people with MS. It gives helpful information on why certain symptoms happen and how you can respond using targeted exercises.

I felt very hopeful and energized after reading this book! Wish I had it sooner but glad to have it now.

Dr. Gretchen brings Hope and efficiency!

MS is a very complex disease, and it is easy to feel hopeless or discouraged, because the work of rebuilding a neurological system is difficult and sometimes does not give you the feedback you want right away. This book gives you very user-friendly, exercise examples along with valuable information and tips. Dr. Gretchen brings not only useful information and great narration but also Hope! I love so much, the book and the PDF !!!! Thank you!!!!!!


Thankful for the small simple steps

I love how Dr Gretchen simplifies everything so I am not feeling overwhelmed with too much information all at once.
