Echo Devices
Smart devices are transforming the daily lives of MS patients, offering greater independence and convenience. From voice-activated controls to home automation, these technologies provide valuable assistance around the house. They are extremely handy if you struggle with walking, using your hands, or your vision.
Grab Bars
Infrared Lights
Infrared light therapy offers relief by reducing inflammation, easing muscle spasms, and enhancing cellular repair processes. It promotes relaxation, reduces muscle stiffness, and improves circulation, which may help relieve some symptoms.
The Beurer IL50 Infrared Heat Lamp is the one I own. I like that it’s smaller so it’s easy to move around. My favorite spot to use it is leaning back in my recliner while it runs, it’s extremely relaxing.
Massage Devices
Massage devices offer soothing relief for people with MS, easing spasticity and discomfort. These therapeutic tools can be a valuable addition to your self-care routine, promoting relaxation and well-being.
My mother has chronic back pain so I gave her this Hyperice Venom 2 Back Wrap as a gift. She LOVES it and wears it every day and says it helps relieve her pain. She also likes that she can move around without being stuck in a chair.
Mobility Devices
Mobility devices such as canes, walkers, or wheelchairs can provide invaluable support. Find one that works best for you. For example, if you are tall get a rollator made for tall people.

I own several Sunsa Wands. It’s very convenient to ask Alexa to open and close the blinds without me having to stretch over furniture. Plus, the company is extremely helpful if you have any trouble.
