Massage therapy won’t cure MS, but many people find it helpful for easing symptoms like pain, fatigue, muscle stiffness, and stress. Studies show it may also improve mood and overall well-being. While results vary from person to person, massage is generally safe when tailored to your needs and done by a qualified therapist—especially one familiar with MS. If you’re curious about trying massage, talk to your doctor first to make sure it’s a good fit for your situation.
