Multiple Sclerosis is a debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central
nervous system. As nerve fiber is destroyed and damaged from the disease, even
the most common every day tasks can be a chore. But with regular aquatic
therapy, MS sufferers can strengthen weakened muscles and improve stamina and
balance.
The unique qualities of water provide exceptional benefits to
people with MS, allowing them to move in ways they may not be able to on land.
Aquatic exercise improves overall physical function including walking, mobility,
flexibility, balance and endurance. Finding a swimming pool that's convenient,
open year-round and at the right temperature for MS therapy can be a challenge
though.
The MS Society's latest partner, Endless Pools, Inc has the
answer to this dilemma. The 8' x 15', temperature controlled Endless Pool can be
installed virtually anywhere indoors or out. Now privacy and convenience can be
a part of anyone's rehabilitation routine. "For years we've supported the MS
Society through their National publication, so this partnership was the next
logical step," says Mark Langan, Marketing Director for Endless Pools, Inc.
"We're proud to join the movement in fighting MS."
The Endless Pool
features an adjustable current that allows you to swim or exercise in place. The
current is broad and deep, and is suitable to every swimming ability and therapy
need. You can also set the temperature precisely, based on preferences and
needs. "We're excited to have Endless Pools, Inc. be a part of movement to end
MS," said Joyce Nelson, President and CEO of the National MS Society.
Now through the end of December 2008 visit
NationalMSsociety.org. and the Movement Marketplace for
your chance to win an Endless Pool.
