Clonus & MS

If MS makes your leg bounce, here’s how to calm it down 👇

That strange reflex where your leg starts bouncing on its own is called clonus, and it’s common for people with MS.

Here’s what’s happening:

💡 Your nervous system is sending repeated signals to your muscles, causing them to contract and release over and over, kind of like a stuck switch.

It’s frustrating and tiring, but thankfully, there’s an easy way to stop it fast. 🙌

Try this next time it happens:

💥 Point your toes downward or move your leg slightly farther away from you. 💥

That tiny adjustment changes the angle of your ankle — and for most of my MS clients, it instantly stops the bouncing.

It’s one of those small, science-backed tricks that can make a big difference.
