Testimonials

“I love visiting MS Action. Hyperbaric therapy has really helped alleviate symptoms of my long Covid. An unexpected bonus was meeting other people with long Covid and being able to discuss our experiences, explore other therapies and share tips for making life easier. Staff and volunteers are welcoming and helpful. I wish I’d found MS Action sooner!”

Jack Says

“I have been a member of MS Action for around 10 years and joined so that I could have regular and ongoing physiotherapy. I’ve since become a volunteer and operate the hyperbaric chamber. I enjoy the positive atmosphere of the centre and have made some great friends”

Sara Says

‘’I have MS and symptoms vary for everyone. It’s been reassuring to meet other people with MS and find out that I’m not alone. I love sitting down for a coffee and a chat after group Yoga. Who’d have thought that it would be possible to see the funny side of having MS!”

Alissa Says

“ How great to come to a place that is fully accessible for wheelchair users. I get dropped off right outside the door. I’d be lost without my weekly physiotherapy”
Icon

Sandra Says

“I just love coming here! What’s not to like!”
Icon

Rachel Says

“I have been going into the oxygen chamber with my son who is autistic for the last year. I have really noticed a change in his behaviour for the better. It was hard for a six year old to wear the oxygen hood at first but we are old hands now.”
