Other useful advice:

It’s important to keep your muscles working as much as you can. Gentle isotonic exercises - in which you use your own symmetrical limbs to push against each other - is an easy way to do this. A registered osteopath or physiotherapist can give you exercises specific to your condition.

Swimming is also good exercise as you can do more movements with the water supporting up to two-thirds of your body weight, but you need to speak to your doctor about whether swimming is appropriate for your condition and have a swimming instructor monitoring you all the time.

Acupuncture can also help improve the effectiveness of your muscles.
