Customer Reviews

Finally!

This book is wonderful. Finally one that does not do the "oh, poor you" and give us a workable workout schedule without costly machines. It is a book that makes us take charge of what we can control and gives us a better chance for a future filled with "can do's" instead of "feel sorry for me".

Move it or lose it!

I very much appreciate this book. When I was first diagnosed in 2004 the 'experts' were still telling us we couldn't do anything because it made us tired or could trigger an exacerbation. I'm glad to see a book that addresses the need for regular exercise for people with MS. What can happen to a healthy person over the coarse of a life time can happen to someone with MS in a matter of years or months or even weeks. "Move it or lose it!" This book provides an easy to understand and follow exercise routine that can serve me for a life time.

A very effective book for MS exercise

I've been struggling with MS for years and have tried pt that was kind of standard, aquatic pt -- and just plain riding an exercise bike. This book is full of information I haven't received from any of my docs or pts -- VERY helpful, encouraging and the excercise program is manageable and seems to be helping! Thanks, Brad Hamler.

Exercises for MS

I found the book to be very informative and helpful. The excercises are fairly easy to do and the author is very knowledgable about MS.

Fight Back

I have been battling Multiple Sclerosis for years and I have read almost every book I have run into on the subject. This book is by far the best, for people who are unwilling to surrender to this disease. Brad Hamler clearly understands that it is possible to delay the immobility and other physical problems that MS can cause, by maintaining a focused exercise routine. I had come to the same conclusion myself and I was delighted to read the experiences of a medical service professional, with extensive experience with MS patients, confirming my strategy in battling this disease. I highly recommend this book to anyone with MS. A well focused excercise routine has been the most clearly effective therapy, of all the therapies I have tried. If you have MS, this book will show you how to fight back, and keep active and mobile. Eventually, medical science will develop therapies not requiring this much effort, but until then Brad has the best strategy to battle MS. Continue with whatever drug therapy you may be on, but add Brad's exercise routine to it.
