"can I exercise during a relapse?"
Advice from the MS Society shows that exercise during a relapse does not make MS worse in the long term and that exercise does not trigger relapse.
Advice is not to exercise until symptoms have levelled off and any steroids prescribed to help you through the symptoms have finished.
A physiotherapist can help you get back into an exercise routine once the relapse is finished and can provide advice on strengthening activities for any affected body parts. A physiotherapist is more suitable than a PT to 'prescribe' movements for rehabilitation.
