Practical tips, local resources, and personal stories to help Treasure Valley MSers thrive
Myocycle FES Bike
Purchased by 208 Local MSers with generous support from the community to be a resource for MSers in the Treasure Valley.
The Myocycle is designed specifically to help those with neurological conditions like MS improve strength, endurance, and mobility using Functional Electrical Stimulation. FES works by using small amounts of electricity to help muscles contract and produce functional movements (like pedaling a bike).
Schedule sessions easily through the provided booking links:
