Multiple Sclerosis and Exercise – I’m In Remission
“My physical condition and situation is a little different than most everyone else’s because I have multiple sclerosis.”
“My physical condition and situation is a little different than most everyone else’s because I have multiple sclerosis.”
“To anyone in need of a health and fitness makeover, or help with their multiple sclerosis, what are you waiting for?”
“Okay, I waited. Why? Because I didn’t realize how bad off I was.
My physical condition and situation is a little different than most everyone else’s because I have multiple sclerosis.”
“Sure, I was overweight, like a lot of other people. Sure, I am an aging male, like a lot of other people. Sure, I was out of shape, like a lot of other people. Sure, my health was no doubt declining, like a lot of other people. And, if didn’t get my fat-laden buns in to see Brian at the life-saving facility known as TheissCare I would probably be looking at an early mortality, like a lot of other people.
But my situation was slightly different in that I needed special care and programming because I am afflicted with multiple sclerosis. It’s not likely that I would have joined what I have affectionately referred to and continue to refer to as “The House of Torture,” if it had not been for Brian’s assurance that his past work and success rate with multiple sclerosis and exercise could help me back into remission and put some distance between the periodic flare-ups and lessen the severity of the exacerbations.”
“So what’s the upshot of all this? Well, my multiple sclerosis is back in remission.
I’m feeling terrific, back on the tennis court, down more than two dozen pounds of very unnecessary and ugly fat, up in muscle mass, down about three inches in my waist, down several inches all over my body, down in BMI, off my cholesterol medication and feeling pretty proud of myself for what I’ve accomplished.”
“How did this happen?
I faithfully followed Brian’s instructions regarding a rigid eating regimen, endured the most aggressive physical training I’ve ever encountered (there is no other way to get fit than to follow the NIKE mantra — “Just Do It”) and, for the most part, pretty much re-booted my body under Brian’s guidance, supervision and expertly thought-out and conducted training program.
He knows his stuff but more than that, beyond the constant encouragement of everyone at TheissCare, it is Brian’s enthusiasm, passion and commitment to the improvement of health through an effective diet and fitness plan that clearly was my salvation and my desire to continue what I’ve started.”
Thanks Brian. You’re a life saver.

“I have tried many others ways to stay fit and stay healthy. I failed at them all.
The results I’ve had with health and wellness in the TheissCare program have made me reconsider lots of aspects of my life and just going at it both hands now at everything. For people that are hearing about TheissCare for the first time the value in the program for them is almost immeasurable. If they value their health and their future they’ll want to be involved in this program.
The results it can give you are phenomenal. It makes you feel so much better. You become enthusiastic about life. It’s about feeling good. ”

Exercise can offer significant benefits to individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS). While MS presents challenges such as fatigue, weakness and mobility issues, a carefully tailored exercise program can help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
Regular physical activity can enhance strength, flexibility and balance, reducing the risk of falls and promoting greater independence in daily activities. Exercise has also been shown to alleviate fatigue and improve mood by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural mood-boosting chemicals.
Aerobic exercises like walking, swimming or cycling can improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of comorbidities such as heart disease. Strength training exercises can help maintain muscle mass and function, preserving mobility and reducing the risk of muscle atrophy.
MS presents a range of challenges which can make starting or maintaining an exercise program daunting. A health and wellness consultant with expertise in MS can provide specialized guidance and support, ensuring that exercise plans are safe, effective and enjoyable. They can help those with MS set realistic goals, adapt exercises to accommodate fluctuations in symptoms and monitor progress over time.
A consultant can offer valuable insights into techniques for managing fatigue, preventing injury and optimizing performance during exercise sessions. By working closely with a health and wellness consultant, those with MS can feel empowered to take control of their health, enhance their physical function, and improve their overall quality of life.
Embarking on an exercise program can be a transformative journey for those living with multiple sclerosis (MS), offering numerous positive changes that extend beyond physical health.
By incorporating an exercise program into your routine, you may experience improved confidence and self-esteem as you regain a sense of control over your body and health. Exercise has been linked to neuroprotective effects, potentially slowing the progression of your MS and reducing the risk of relapses.
Starting an exercise program can have profound positive effects on both your physical and mental health, empowering you to lead a fuller, more active life, while managing your condition more effectively.
