Today — and every day this week — the RealTalk MS podcast is coming to you live from the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in Toronto, Canada, where, tomorrow, the International Progressive MS Alliance kicks off its 3rd Scientific Congress. The theme of the event is Progressive MS — Making a Difference Through Rehabilitation & Symptom Management, and on today's podcast episode, we're previewing some of what the attendees will be seeing and hearing.

We're also talking about several MS rehabilitation research studies that examine mindfulness meditation and well-being, virtual reality as an effective tool for gait & balance rehabilitation, and how a history of depression might stop people with MS from doing physical exercise. We'll also tell you how you can use social media to share your ideas about next-generation mobility devices.

We have a lot to talk about. And we're talking about it live from the International Progressive MS Alliance Scientific Congress on MS Rehabilitation & Symptom Management, at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Toronto, Canada.
