Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a variety of symptoms that can impact mobility and overall function. At Balance Physiotherapy, we specialize in providing personalized physiotherapy care to individuals with MS, focusing on improving quality of life and maintaining independence.
