For Debbie, life outside of Uplift is filled with the things she loves – gardening, painting and morning trips to the dog park. But living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) means balancing everyday joy with frequent fatigue.
After completing an MS exercise research program, Debbie’s doctor recommended Uplift Exercise Physiology to help keep her momentum going. Two years later, she’s still thriving.
“I thought I was reasonably fit until I came here and started doing my weights. That made a huge difference.”
Real support for real days
MS comes with good days and bad days. The beauty of Exercise Physiology is that it isn’t one-size-fits-all. On the days when Debbie’s MS feels a bit “louder”, her trainers don’t let her give up, they simply adapt.
- Tailored workouts: if her legs are feeling weak, the team shifts focus to upper-body training.
- Functional strength: weight training has directly improved her everyday life, making tasks like lifting a doona or standing up straight after gardening much easier.
- A trusted community: the understanding and support from the Uplift staff mean Debbie never feels the need to cancel.
By focusing on what her body can do each day, Debbie always leaves feeling better than when she walked in.
