We offer a number of recognised therapies which help with the long-term maintenance of health and well-being. PHYSIOTHERAPY
Emphasis is placed on what people can do on their own, or with assistance at home. Adjustments are made as required to each person’s personal programme by our fully qualified Physiotherapists. HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Fifteen days of treatment is followed by “top -up” sessions, which may vary from once a week to once monthly. All sessions are individually monitored. MASSAGE AND REFLEXOLOGY
We also provide support, advice and other personal services NUTRITION AND MS There is a great deal of scientific evidence to suggest that diet plays an important role with MS. A healthy diet is of benefit to everyone with MS. It can help to fight fatigue and infection. A special diet cookbook and recipe leaflets are available from us. COUNSELLING AND ADVICE We provide an individual, private and confidential counselling service for people with MS and also for their partners, carers, family and friends. Very often it is more difficult for the onlooker to come to terms with the situation than the person with MS. For those who have problems with benefits etc., but have difficulty in getting to the Citizens Advice Bureau, we can arrange an appointment with an Advisor here at the Centre. HAIRDRESSER
MEETING PLACE The Centre also acts as a base and meeting place for its members, many of whom, drop in to meet friends over a cup of tea or coffee. To

The Centre has a well-equipped Physiotherapy Department. Clients initially
have a thorough assessment of their condition and thereafter, treatment
and advice tailored to their individual needs in order to promote general
health and to maintain/improve control and mobility of limbs.
Hyperbaric
Oxygen treatment is not a cure for Multiple Sclerosis but it can be
effective in the longer term, helping to stabilise and manage the
illness. In
addition it often succeeds in improving bladder control
and a reducting fatigue symptoms. The initial treatment consists
of breathing pure oxygen through a mask, while sitting in a pressurised
chamber, for one hour a day over a maximum of 15 days. The chamber
allows up to 5 people to be treated simultaneously. 
Massage and Reflexology can give the person with MS a
sense of well-being. Fiona and Mary, our two therapists are available
for appointments for both therapies, and fuller information on this
is in our Information Pack.
We
now have a Hairdressing Room and our resident hairdresser Gillian
will be pleased to look after you and pamper you. This is a very
popular service and well used.
