Synopsis

The Can Do MS program is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1984 to offer MS programs based on the philosophy of founder, Jimmie Heuga: that a person can have a chronic disease and also maintain their health. Believe it or not, at that time MS patients were encouraged NOT to exercise or basically ""strain"" themselves in any way. Today, The Center has expanded Jimmie's philosophy from a focus on physical fitness with MS to a focus on the whole person and family living with the impacts of MS. Programs include education, nutrition, mental well-being, and exercise, as well as learning specific, individualized life management skills and ways to integrate wellness activities into everyday life. Every year they provide programs and services directly to over 10,000 people in 13 states and Canada. In 2008 they were named the official health and wellness arm of the NMSS. ""The Can Do Multiple Sclerosis Guide to Lifestyle Empowerment"" provides the reader with over 20 years worth of knowledge and information accumulated by this organization and it's unique approach to wellness.
