**1. Introduction**

Multiple sclerosis (MS) as a disease: acquired in young adulthood, chronic and of undetermined etiology is difficult to accept by the patient. Comprehensive therapy based on pharmacological treatment combined with regular rehabilitation is required. Physiotherapy is aimed at maintaining the psychomotor performance of the patient for as long as possible. There are ongoing studies and discussions on determining to what extent the physiotherapy directly affects the regeneration of nervous tissue, and to what extent its satisfactory effects are related solely to the increase in the level of physical activity [1, 2]. A comprehensive rehabilitation program should motivate the patient to live in a dignified and enjoyable way. The pilot studies show that the patients enjoy alternative forms of physiotherapy that influence the locomotor system and engage in them on a regular basis. What is more, this kind of activities helps patients to develop various interests and improves their social relations [3]. Given the high specificity of MS, the physiotherapy should be fully integrated into the treatment program and adapted to the individual needs of the patients, as well as their capabilities and stage of the disease [1, 2]. The following chapter presents recommendations

for alternative forms of rehabilitation used in the comprehensive treatment for multiple sclerosis, such as judo, tai-chi or kick boxing.
