We're Here to Support You

In our efforts to promote quality of life for patients and their families, we are committed to providing services that support individuals and families with MS throughout their entire MS journey.

We understand that every person experiences MS differently, and that one person’s MS can have a profound impact on their loved ones as well. Led by MS counseling and education experts, we offer counseling and support services to clients and their families, and referrals to experienced and qualified professionals for further treatment.

“A counsellor was a great help to our entire family when we learned of my son’s illness. She dealt with the situation on a completely factual basis with no ‘sugar coating,’ but at the same time showed a deft understanding of what a newly diagnosed patient might be thinking. He now has a great attitude, and looks forward to his life, whatever may unfold.”

Counseling

MS is a complicated disease that strikes most people in the prime of life as they are building families and careers. How it manifests in each person is different, but most people will have to prepare to live with this disease for quite some time. As a result, MS patients and their loved ones are often presented with a host of difficult transitions and emotional issues. Through individual and family counseling, and seminars, the Center offers a range of resources to assist each individual, as well as families and friends. [READ MORE]

Hydrotherapy and Adaptive Exercise

Regular exercise is a critical component of lifelong brain health, and something often overlooked as a part of a comprehensive care model. At the Rocky Mountain MS Center, we believe staying active and fit is a crucial part of living with MS, and we offer two programs to help meet your needs. Hydrotherapy is our specialized MS aquatic therapy program designed to improve functional abilities, typically offered two days per week at sites throughout the Denver area. We also provide Online Exercise Classes which are seated and adaptive strengthening and stretching workouts conducted via Zoom twice weekly.  [READ MORE]

MS ID Cards

MS can bring on unexpected symptoms at inconvenient times. Situations can become even more complicated when you’re interacting with someone who’s unfamiliar with MS. We offer MS ID cards as a service to those who live with multiple sclerosis, to help explain symptoms that may be perplexing to those around you. The card lists your vital information on one side, and common MS symptoms on the back. [READ MORE]

MS Young Professionals Network (MSYPN)

Individuals between the ages of 21-45 experience some of the highest rates of diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. When anyone is diagnosed with MS, it can be a very isolating experience, but it is especially so for a young person in the prime of life. MSYPN provides regular opportunities for younger adult peers to share their experiences with, learn from, and support one another. [READ MORE]

Disability Assessment & Legal Services

MS is the third most common neurological cause of disability, behind only stroke and epilepsy. The consequences of unemployment related to disability are numerous and may include loss of income and medical insurance and depression. Federal disability benefits can help restore critical income and health benefits. The Rocky Mountain MS Center offers the Disability Assessment and Legal Clinic programs to those who would like to learn more about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or who are applying for benefits.
