Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition that affects around 107,000 people across the UK.
Many of our members have been telling us how they have really benefited from the support we have been able to provide during the lockdowns.
Colin says…
I cannot really find the right words to express how grateful I am for what the Centre does for me and what it means to me. After 10 weeks of self-isolating I rapidly went downhill.
Returning to the Centre for one-to-one physio is helping me get back to where I was physically a few months before. This helps me to live independently, as I live alone.
The staff always welcome me with a smile, and we have a bit of a laugh together which really gives me a lift.”
Contact us on 01234 325781 to find out about all the ways we can help.
Please help us to keep providing therapies in the future…
