MS Action provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which enhances healing by increasing oxygen levels through simulated dives in a pressurised chamber. Multiple sessions are essential, with dedicated masks, hygiene protocols, and caregiver support.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen therapy uses gentle rolling movements to activate the body's natural healing, providing pain relief, relaxation, improved circulation, and addressing musculoskeletal issues.
Yoga
Yoga, an ancient Indian practice, fosters harmony in mind and body, offering flexibility, strength, and stress reduction. Our sessions suit groups or individuals and accommodate physical limitations for enhanced well-being.

Reiki, a Japanese healing technique, offers relaxation and stress reduction. The therapist channels universal energy to the recipient, promoting healing, balance, and emotional well-being. Common uses include relaxation, pain management, and emotional well-being.

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!”
“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”
‘’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!”
“ 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”
“I just love coming here! What’s not to like!”
“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.”
“It may be a bit of a struggle to leave the house but a trip to MS Action is always worth the effort. It never fails to lift my spirits and I always leave with a smile on my face”
“It’s been great to be able to try some of therapies available at the centre. I wouldn’t be able to afford to have these therapies elsewhere.”
