Members responded warmly to the question about occupational therapy, with many sharing that OT has been genuinely helpful, especially during flares or for improving fine motor skills and dexterity. Several members recommended combining OT with physical therapy and even speech therapy or chair yoga, noting that each focuses on different needs but all contribute to better daily functioning with MS. A recurring theme was encouragement to try whatever helps, with members urging each other not to be afraid to explore these therapies for both short and long-term benefits.

Yes @A MyMSTeam Member: I went to both Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. Slightly different focuses both both are very helpful! PT is tops for balance and lower fall risk, while OT excels at tactile skill and dexterity! I recommend both to all MSers!

Yes. Back in 2021 when I had my bad flare. We did a lot of fine motor exercises. It helped a lot.
