Unique Swimming Pools Promote Rehabilitation through Aquatic Therapy

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. Finding a swimming pool that's convenient, open year-round and at the right temperature for MS therapy can be a challenge. The MS Society's latest partner, Endless Pools, Inc has the answer to this dilemma. Now through the end of December 2008 visit NationalMSsociety.org and the Movement Marketplace for a chance to win an Endless Pool.
