Poor Postural Advice for people with ms.
Tips & Advice...
• Try to ensure that you get enough sleep - take naps during
the day if necessary. Give yourself permission to rest and put
your feet up whenever possible
• When you feel tired or worn out, stop what you are doing
and have a... rest before you start again - pace yourself
• Don't stand when you can sit down, and don't sit down
when you can lie down
• Be aware of your physical limitations and listen to your body
when it tells you to stop
• You might find that relaxation tapes and gentle music help
you to wind down
• If you know that you have a big event coming up that might
tire you out, make sure that you prepare for it, by getting as
much rest as possible beforehand

PARALYZED IN CHURCH.; Stricken While Praying ;- Remains Kneeling for 14 Hours.
November 11, 1913, Tuesday
Page 2, New York Times
Shortly after Miss Hannah Moran, a seamstress, knelt for her morning devotions at 7 o'clock yesterday in a pew in the Church of St. John the Baptist, in West Thirtieth Street, she was stricken with paralysis and found she could not rise. Her hope, then, was in prayer, and she continued with bowed head hour after hour.

An old report but shows how altering posture can have a direct impact on the nervous system.
