Can Do Multiple Sclerosis (Can Do MS) transforms lives by delivering health and wellness education programs on exercise, nutrition, symptom management and motivation to help families with MS thrive. The organization’s founder, Olympic ski medalist Jimmie Heuga – who was diagnosed with MS at the age of 26 – encouraged people to focus on what they “can do” to live healthy and well, whether or not they have MS.
Today, Can Do MS programs consultant coordinator, physical therapist and MS certified specialist Mandy Rohrig says, “Jimmie fully embraced the ‘Can Do’ mantra, which can help anyone who is trying to overcome a challenge.” We sat down with Mandy, who was kind enough to share how taking a “Can Do” approach can help people with MS live their best life.
EmpowHER: What does it mean to take a “Can Do” approach?
Mandy: People with MS and their loved ones are constantly forced to adapt to change. MS is unpredictable and, at times, filled with uncertainty. It is a disease that every day, every hour and every minute presents people with challenges that impact their physical, social and emotional functions. Can Do MS teaches people to approach these challenges and changes as opportunities for creative problem-solving. A “Can Do” approach means believing in yourself and your abilities, even as they may evolve because of MS.
