Today is World MSA Day. 🧠 Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder, similar to an accelerated version of Parkinson’s. Some of our beloved local PT Gym community members live with this disorder, bringing the importance close to home despite being a rare disorder, impacting an estimated 4-7 people per 100,000 worldwide & their families.

Symptoms may include
- [ ] balance impairments,
- [ ] poor coordination,
- [ ] bladder dysfunction,
- [ ] sleep disturbances, and
- [ ] impaired system regulation (including blood pressure control).
Regular exercise has been shown to help manage some of these symptoms and slow decline, but research continues to find treatments and a cure. To show support for folks with MSA, please consider donating to .msa at https://bit.ly/worldmsaday
