About the Book



This book contains over 30 exercise and movement demonstrations in addition to strategies to help manage and reduce MS symptoms. The reader will be able to implement exercises and steps to improve their walking, strength, and balance.



Book Synopsis



Has multiple sclerosis caused you to become fearful, frustrated, or overwhelmed because your walking or mobility isn't improving?


In this straightforward and action-focused guide, Dr. Gretchen Hawley provides the exact steps to take control of your MS symptoms and feel empowered. Common symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, difficulty walking, and poor balance require MS-specific exercises and strategies geared toward strengthening your neural pathways, not just your muscles. This is possible through MS exercises focusing on neuroplasticity, which, unfortunately, is often overlooked or ignored.


After reading The MSing Link, you will have the tools to:

✓ Improve your walking on even and uneven surfaces

✓ Gain leg and core strength

✓ Improve your balance and reduce falls

✓ Reduce fatigue

✓ Modify exercises based on how your MS affects you each day

✓ Manage temperature sensitivity and sensation changes

✓ Feel confident that you can make a change in your mobility

✓ Learn where and how to start exercising with MS


If you've tried physical therapy or other exercise programs in the past and they didn't help, it's not because of your MS, or your lack of effort. Those exercises didn't focus on improving the strength of your neural pathways in addition to your muscles. Once you learn the correct way to exercise with MS, you'll finally start seeing improvements in your mobility, energy, and confidence.





Review Quotes




"Finally! A brilliant and most practical book on understanding neuroplasticity and exercise with MS. A fount of meaningful information along with guided movements to begin this journey with Dr. Gretchen Hawley. I have been resistant to purposeful exercise due to ... lack of interest. This book changes so much. And I am grateful. Essential reading! Motivating and incredibly important in all of our healing endeavors."

- Selma Blair, Actress, New York Times Best Selling Author, and MS Advocate


"You can improve your mobility and function! Through The MSing Link, Dr Gretchen Hawley takes all the guesswork out of the equation. She equips you with simple and easy-to-follow guidelines for functional movement. These exercises and strategies make healing possible for everyone with multiple sclerosis. This is a must have book for anyone with mobility issues and multiple sclerosis!"

- Dr. Terry Wahls, MD, IFMCP, author The Wahls Protocol A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions and creator of the Wahls Protocol(R)


"To live your best life, despite having Multiple Sclerosis, it takes a multi system approach. The most underappreciated disease modifying therapy is exercise. I met Gretchen Hawley during the pandemic after she launched an amazing virtual exercise program for MS. Many of my MS patients have used her program with great success, and I am delighted that she is sharing her powerful information in this text. She is a gem to the MS community and this book will help many families with MS."

- Dr. Aaron Boster, founder of the Boster Center for MS, MS Neurologist



"Dr. Gretchen Hawley's steadfast commitment and practical strategies serve as beacons of hope, empowering people with MS to embark on their own journey of recovery. Through her many initiatives, she reminds us that exercise and physiotherapy can make a world of difference in the lives of those facing disabilities."

- Mathew Embry, Filmmaker, MS Patient Advocate & Founder of MS Hope


"Dr. Hawley is your go-to MS physical therapist! People at all levels of mobility benefit from her wisdom, enthusiasm, and optimism. This book is full of practical advice for different challenges like spasticity, "drop foot," and urinary problems. Her assertions are backed up by years of experience and scientific studies, and ample pictures show the exercises clearly. Hawley respects the uniqueness of each person with MS and offers solutions for bad days, relapses, and other sticking- points."

- Dr. Brandon Beaber, MS Neurologist, Author



"Dr. Gretchen offers a ray of hope to people experiencing MS progression. This science-based book is as approachable and as joyful as Dr. Gretchen herself, and will be an invaluable tool for those looking to increase their strength, balance, and mobility."

- Ardra Shephard, Writer, Creator/Host of AMI-tv's Fashion Dis, TrippingOnAir.com
