The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Pilates exercises and myofascial release on balance, trunk muscle endurance and flexibility in people with multiple sclerosis, 24 patients with MS with expanded disability status scale (EDSS) between zero and three were selected and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group participated in 24 training sessions, central stability, functional balance and hamstring flexibility were measured using McGill, timed up and go (TUG) test and seat and reach (SRT) before and after the exercise period in both groups. Paired t-test and analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. Performing eight weeks of Pilates exercises and myofascial release made a significant difference in the functional balance of the experimental and control groups (P < 0.01). While in the control group, no significant difference was observed. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that this exercise program will be effective in improving functional balance of MS patients. Therefore, this treatment plan is recommended for this group of patients.
