Multiple sclerosis is a degenerative autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system. It has the effect of damaging myelin, the protective sheath of nerve fibers that is essential for the proper functioning of your nerves.

Exercise programs that combine several types of exercises would be effective in improving the quality of life of these people.

* Resistance exercises, such as those made with weights or elastic bands.

* The exercises done in the water:

* Aerobic exercises, elliptical and Pilates are indicated physical activities,

* Balance and control exercises: they allow you to maximize physical abilities to maintain balance and prevent falls.
