from Living Well with Multiple Sclerosis · host Overcoming MS
What’s the best way to approach exercise with multiple sclerosis? In this bonus from the archive episode of Living Well with MS, Trevor Wicken explores neuroplasticity, “neural edge” and how to find a movement routine that works for you. Trevor Wicken is the founder of The MS Gym and a neuromuscular movement specialist who supports people with MS through brain-based movement, mindset, education and community. In this episode, he explores how movement can support confidence, resilience and day-to-day wellbeing, and why progress with MS is often about recognising small victories along the way. Whether you’re just starting to explore movement with MS or looking for renewed motivation, this episode is a reminder that exercise is not about doing everything perfectly, it’s about finding what works for you. Originally broadcast in 2020, this episode has been edited to remove out-of-date content and reuploaded in 2026 to ensure it remains relevant and useful. 01:28 What is The MS Gym? 04:45 Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, where you’re from, and the journey that brought you to launching The MS Gym? 13:45 How is your fitness philosophy particularly tailored to people with MS? 18:53 Is it worth getting an MS specialist approach rather than just a normal physical training instructor? 21:10 What are the biggest obstacles to getting people – with or without MS – to adopt a regular exercise regimen? 28:39 For the people you serve under The MS Gym umbrella, how do you measure their success or progress? 44:06 If you could articulate one specific outcome you can say you really nailed in your work through The MS Gym, what would that be and why? 54:53 What motivates or inspires you as a human being?
