We were lucky enough to spend some time with Dr. Gretchen, a doctor of physical therapy and MS specialist! We asked her opinion about if it's possible, and even beneficial, to exercise when experiencing a flare. She shared what factors you should consider before jumping into exercise and how to safely move your body, even when experiencing a relapse or flare.
