A Message From Fraser Simpson, Balance & Falls Specialist

Dear Reader living with MS (and Caring Family Members),

Are you noticing that your balance is becoming unsteady, or that walking feels like it takes twice as much effort?
Are you struggling with overwhelming fatigue that limits what you can achieve in a day?
Are you frustrated by muscle stiffness, spasticity, or foot drop that makes moving around feel unsafe?
Have you been told—or started to believe—that physical therapy won't help because MS is a progressive condition?
Are you feeling left without regular, expert support after your initial NHS therapy sessions ended?
Are you looking for a dedicated neuro physio who understands the fluctuations of MS and knows how to adapt your rehabilitation to match how you feel each week?

If any of this sounds like you, and you want to maintain your mobility, reduce pain, and stay as independent as possible, you have come to the right place.

Many people living with Multiple Sclerosis in Glasgow miss out on reaching their best physical potential because they are led to believe:

The Truth Is...

Targeted exercise builds resilience: Consistent, appropriately paced neuro-physiotherapy can build muscle strength, improve energy efficiency, and maintain joint flexibility.
Fatigue CAN be managed: Specialist neuro-physiotherapy doesn't drain your energy—it teaches you energy conservation techniques alongside targeted conditioning so you can do more of what you love.
Balance and gait can be improved: Specialized exercises, gait re-education, and orthotic guidance can help correct foot drop and unsteadiness, significantly lowering your risk of falls.
We bring specialist treatment to your door: If travelling to a clinic exhausts your energy for the day, a Specialist Neuro Physio can come directly to your home.
Continuous support keeps you on track: Through home visits and video consultations, we adapt your exercise plan as your needs evolve, ensuring long-term continuity of care.

At Simpson Physiotherapy, we are Neuro and Older Adult Specialist Physiotherapists. We help people with MS build confidence in their movement, preserve their physical function, and manage day-to-day symptoms effectively.

We know how difficult it can be to find the right support:

You may have finished a brief block of time-limited NHS therapy and now feel left to navigate your condition alone.
You might have tried standard general physiotherapy, only to find the exercises triggered overwhelming fatigue or didn't address specific neurological issues like spasticity.
You may be hesitant to exercise because you are afraid of overheating or causing a symptom flare-up.
You might notice your walking confidence slowly slipping away, making you feel anxious about leaving the house alone.

The biggest fear for many living with MS is: What will my physical independence look like in the future if I don’t take action now?

Getting proactive, specialist neuro-physiotherapy is VITAL to staying strong, maintaining mobility, and protecting your quality of life.

How We Help You Recover: 3 Simple Steps

We want to help you. In order to help us do that we have a few steps to follow…

Step #1 - We Want (and need) to Listen to Your Story

MS affects everyone differently, and your experience is unique to you. We take the time to listen to how your symptoms impact your day, your energy levels, and what matters most to you.

If we feel our service isn’t the absolute best fit for your situation, we will tell you openly during our call.

Step #2 - Find Your Unique Solution

Because MS symptoms fluctuate, a cookie-cutter exercise program won’t work.

Together, we look at:

Your current walking capacity, balance, and muscle tone.
Your primary goals (e.g., walking without fear of falling, getting up stairs easily, or managing daily fatigue).
How your symptoms vary throughout the day or week.
Safe, tailored exercise thresholds that build strength without triggering exhaustion.

We then design a personalized therapy plan structured completely around your energy and capabilities.

Step #3 - Support You in the Way You Need

Our treatment plan and appointments are built around you and your individual needs and capabilities.

Have you ever been in the situation where the journey to and from an appointment tires you out so much, or causes so much stress and hassle, that you decide not to go? Or you struggle to get out of the house, so going to a clinic appointment for treatment is out of the question?

We understand that this is a significant problem faced by many older adults. That is why we come to you! We provide home visits and video consultations for all of the people we support. This is hugely beneficial in helping you maximise your energy for our sessions and get the most out of therapy. No more having to rely on friends and family or patient transport to get to your appointments. No having to combat traffic and being at the mercy of roadworks and traffic jams!

Q. What if I need someone with me more than once a week to help me practice my exercises because I won’t be able to do them on my own?
A. No problem, we absolutely provide a support package that works for you to help you get the best out of your therapy. We currently have clients who have 2 to 3 home visits a week, and others who we support through online video consultations

This way we help you maximise your ability and energy to work on what’s most important to you…….living a life without falls and the fear of falling, and regaining and maintaining your independence.

You only get one chance at aging disgracefully, we want to help you make the most of it!

Sincerely,

FRASER SIMPSON
