Middlesbrough MS Therapy Centre...
The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre was opened in 1985 by people with Multiple Sclerosis. Its aim is to serve people affected by MS in Tees Valley, North Yorkshire, County Durham, Tyne and Wear and into Northumbria. The centre provides a range of essential therapies aimed at limiting the problems of MS. Currently these therapies are high dosage oxygen therapy, physiotherapy, yoga, therapeutic massage, reflexology aromatherapy and counseling. We also provide support and therapy to stroke victims, ME sufferers and people with other neurological disorders.
We are an independent local charity that provides a unique service of therapies and support for MS sufferers, their carers and their families. Although MS is as yet incurable, much can be done to improve the quality of life of MS sufferers. Considerable research has been done in other countries into ways to alleviate some of the symptoms of MS. It has been found that diet, physiotherapy and high dosage oxygen therapy were the best hope of providing some relief and possibly of slowing down the advance of the disease.
We are a self help group and registered charity endeavoring to provide a complete service for MS sufferers throughout the north, encouraging them to look after themselves and make the best of their lives within the confines of their condition.
We are not part of a larger organization though we are affiliated to the National Federation of MS Therapy Centres. We are totally self-funding. We receive no government funding and raise our income through members, donations towards the cost of treatments along with the tireless fundraising efforts of our members, volunteers and staff.
A members, management committee runs the centre and we have a team of members and volunteers who help with our day-to-day tasks.
