24.01.2022 The MS Society SA & NT was able to purchase a Motomed motorised exercise trainer suitable for people with limited mobility, with support from the Honda Foundation. Based on individual strength and mobility, the Motomed supports a persons limbs and provides various levels of assistance and resistance to the movements. This means people with varying abilities can move freely and safely to improve muscle strength and fitness. Read full story: https://www.ms.asn.au//ms-society-gym-welcomes-new-exercis

19.01.2022 For almost 30 years, since the day Heather came to the MS Society when she was diagnosed with MS at the age of 28, we have been by Heathers side. When she was told that shed have to start self-injecting treatment to manage her MS, she was scared, just like any of us would be. Thats when she went to see the MS nurses at the MS Society for help. Ive been coming here for what seems like ages. The nurses got rid of a lot of the stigma and fears about MS and explained a little bit about it, and how it affects you. Theyve been really great and helpful. At times Id be lost without them," Heather says.

13.01.2022 Check out this new bladder scanner in action! Thanks to our amazing donors and supporters, we have purchased a bladder scanner that will help our continence nurse, Amanda to provide the best service to people living with bladder problems. About 20-40% of people with MS experience bladder-emptying problems. This means the bladder doesnt empty completely. People try to go to the toilet, but nothing happens; or the urine flow stops and starts. If people cant empty their bladde...r completely this can lead to urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections and potential kidney problems. A bladder scanner is an essential piece of technology that identifies if there is any leftover urine in the bladder. The scan is non-invasive and provides a quick reading, using an ultrasound probe above the lower abdomen. Thank you If you would like more information about our new bladder scanner please call MS Assist on 1800 812 311
