SPS, as described by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, is a progressive condition that affects muscle control, leading to stiffness and spasms. 

As the illness advances, it can severely impact mobility, making everyday movements a challenge and increasing vulnerability to falls and injuries.

In the documentary, Celine shares her personal struggles with the symptoms of SPS, which include stiff muscles in the arms, legs, and torso, as well as heightened sensitivity to noise, emotional distress, and touch.
