Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis Physiotherapy

Myasthenia Gravis

Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic neuromuscular disorder that causes weakness in the voluntary muscles, often affecting the eyes, face, throat, arms, and legs. People with MG may experience drooping eyelids, difficulty speaking or swallowing, fatigue, and muscle weakness that worsens with activity and improves with rest. While there is no cure, physiotherapy plays a supportive role in improving strength, endurance, breathing function, and overall quality of life. With personalized therapy, patients can learn energy conservation techniques, maintain mobility, and manage daily activities more effectively.

  • Can physiotherapy help with Myasthenia Gravis?

    Yes, physiotherapy supports patients by improving muscle endurance, reducing fatigue, and teaching safe ways to perform daily activities without overexertion.

  • How many physiotherapy sessions are required?

    Session frequency varies depending on the severity of symptoms. Usually, patients benefit from regular sessions combined with guided home exercises to maintain strength and manage fatigue.

  • Can Myasthenia Gravis patients exercise at home?

    Yes, but only under professional guidance. Gentle, low-intensity exercises and breathing techniques recommended by a physiotherapist can be performed safely at home.
