10Long-Term Recovery
In the long run, people with transverse myelitis might need additional therapies to improve the quality of life and speed up recovery. Physical therapy can improve coordination and strength with specific exercises. You can also learn how to use supportive devices like braces, canes, or wheelchairs. Another option is occupational therapy, which teaches new ways of doing daily tasks like cleaning, cooking, or bathing. Lastly, you need to work with a psychotherapist to deal with mental issues caused by the condition.[10]
