Number twelve in a series about what clients have to say about their workouts.
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare condition that causes symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease. It is a neurodegenerative disease marked by a combination of symptoms affecting movement, blood pressure, and other body functions; hence the label "multiple system" atrophy. The cause of MSA is unknown. Almost 80% of patients are disabled within 5 years of onset of the motor symptoms.
One of our clients, Christine, was diagnosed at Mayo with MSA 3 yrs ago. Of all the patients monitored at Mayo Christine she has experienced the least amount of atrophy. Christine works out with Adam at our New Orleans location. She had this to say about her workouts:
I was diagnosed with MSA 3 years ago I went for two other opinions in Houston and the Mayo in Rochester and they confirmed the diagnosis. I immediately started the strength training with Adam, and I am still going. The last time I went to the Mayo in October 2009 and Dr. Feeley who is my neurologist said “under no circumstances stop exercising because that is what is keeping you going”. Adam has done a tremendous job with me.
