Motor Neuron Disease (ALS) Support

Motor neuron disease, including ALS, gradually affects the nerves controlling muscles, leading to progressive weakness. Physiotherapy focuses on maintaining strength, mobility, and comfort for as long as possible while adapting care as needs change.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Follow a gentle, tailored exercise program to maintain strength
  • Use mobility aids and equipment as recommended
  • Focus on breathing exercises to support lung function
  • Involve family and caregivers in care planning early

Don'ts

  • Don't attempt high-intensity exercise that causes excessive fatigue
  • Don't ignore changes in breathing or swallowing
  • Don't delay use of supportive equipment when needed
  • Don't isolate from support groups or care teams

When to see a physiotherapist: Consult your neurologist regularly to monitor progression, and work with a physiotherapist to adapt exercise and mobility support as symptoms change.
