MS, or multiple sclerosis, responds well to gentle relaxing massage, such as Swedish. In MS the central and peripheral nervous systems are affected as the nerves lose their protective myelin sheaths, lose sensitivity, and bring on body aches and pains. Since there is often an emotional component, as in any chronic condition, a gentle, soothing, massage adds to a better quality of life which then allows the person with MS to cope better with their condition.

Are there any contraindications for a person getting a massage if they have multiple sclerosis?
No, not at all. Therapeutic neuromuscular massage, performed by a licensed NMT (neuromuscular massage therapist) can be an effective way of helping to maintain muscle tone and normal function and increase circulation. It certainly is not a cure, but it definitely helps. If the person with MS is on one of the injectable therapies, the massage therapist should avoid massaging any area which has received a shot within the last 24 hours. If it is over 24 hours, massage over those areas actually assists in reducing lumps at injection sites which can develop over the years of their use.
