About this episode

Dr. Gretchen Hawley discusses reclaiming confidence through movement for those living with multiple sclerosis.

In this episode of MSwired, I sit down with Dr. Gretchen Hawley, Physical Therapist, Multiple Sclerosis Certified Specialist, and founder of The MSing Link, to talk about reclaiming confidence through movement while living with MS.Dr. Gretchen shares what led her to focus her career on MS care and why she created The MSing Link after seeing so many people struggle with generic physical therapy or lose access to care too early. We break down neuroplasticity in a hopeful, practical way and discuss how functional, purposeful movement can improve walking, balance, and coordination, even on days when symptoms fluctuate. This conversation is a reminder that progress doesn’t come from perfection, but from intentional, consistent movement. You’ll walk away feeling informed, encouraged, and empowered to reconnect with your body and move forward with confidence.
