Online Adaptive Exercise Classes With
Rocky mountain multiple sclerosis center
“Participants are guided through a series of exercises that can be adapted to various ability and mobility levels. Stretching and aerobic movements are key components of living an active lifestyle, and our exercise classes provide a robust workout. Michele also leads a Qi Gong sequence at the beginning of each class to help decrease tension, increase circulation, and refresh the mind to help you stay grounded and present in your body. We strive to cultivate a comfortable setting that welcomes all ability levels, and many participants strongly value the social connection that accompanies each class.
These one-hour classes are held on Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. and Fridays at 9:30 a.m., and average about 10 to 15 participants per class. Guests can join from their home computer, laptop, or smartphone. Because of our remote capabilities, people from anywhere are welcome and encouraged to join the classes.”

Movement Matters
“(RMMSC has partnered with Durango’s Tomsic Physical Therapy) to sponsor adaptive exercise classes for people living with MS and similar diseases – because we want you to have all the tools at your fingertips to live your fullest life with MS. Under the guidance of physical therapy professionals tailoring classes to fit the needs of MS patients, you’ll be walked through adaptive stretching, mobility training, and aerobic workouts to strengthen your everyday balance and flexibility. Class instructors will be ready to help provide movement modifications to best serve you to ensure you’re getting the most out of every class.
“Our adaptive exercise classes are free to you, and we encourage you to bring along any friends or support partners. No equipment is necessary, though bringing a water bottle is encouraged.
