Have you ever wondered how much exercise is safe for someone living with a neuromuscular disorder? Which physical activities are recommended? Are there certain exercises or movements to avoid?

Finding reliable information about exercise and physical activity can be challenging, especially when recommendations may differ depending on your condition and individual needs. So send us your questions!

Whether you're curious about exercise, mobility, nutrition, treatments, diagnosis, clinical trials, caregiving or daily living, we want to hear from you. Your questions will help identify the information the neuromuscular community needs most and will help guide the development of future evidence-informed resources.
