Multiple Sclerosis Clients: How to Personal Train

[Guest guest]

I've been working with a few clients with MS. Anybody else have experience

working with this clientele type?

Thanks for your recommendations, results and other insights.

[Yes, my wife worked with many MS clients, offering them special

training with her Seated Fitness system. Rapidity to fatigue,

and problems with thermoregulation were always present, with

huge individual variations in capabilities, often from day to day.

Alternation with work in the pool and using short epochs of activity

alternating with regular rest phases often made the workouts far

more bearable and productive. Mel Siff]

We have " some " experience with this group. As possible interventions, we include

fish oils and lecithin supplements. Also included is the IDM (It doesnt matter)

diet plan which basically is a food omission and reintroduction plan to

suggest the possible relationship between foods and their effect per

individual. Results are encouraging. Unfortunately our " measureable " data

acquisition is inversly related to our observed benefits!

We are initiating an operation which specializes in " systems failures " as one

of our supportive Doctors terms these unfortuante 2nd 3rd standard deviation

folks. We are putting together an evaluative system to guide our endeavors

and will present same to ST(supertraining.) for feedback shortly.

Regardless, is there any anecdotal support for our interventions, i.e., 1,

supplements purported to facilitate neural processes and 2. use of an IDM

food plan--within the ST community--or heaven allow--any rigorous examination

of these possibly usefull interventions?
