Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system where communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted due to a break down in the insulating myelin that surrounds a person's nerve. Some type of daily exercise can be critical to the well-being of people with MS and may affect the course of their disease.
