A Life on the Progressive Side: Episode 2: Physio and the benefits of staying active

In the second episode of our podcast series, Ashleigh speaks with Helen, a neuro physiotherapist from Manchester who was Ashleigh's own physio post diagnosis.  In this episode, Ashleigh and Helen discuss Helen’s route into her work, the benefits and limits of physio for MS and the challenges of staying active for people living with MS. If you’re also living with or affected by MS, you can get support and information from mssociety.org.uk.
