Who are we?

 

The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Lothian) is a self-help group whose aim is to help maintain and improve the quality of life of people with Multiple Sclerosis who live in the Lothians, Fife and the Borders.

 

Most of our funding comes from donations from members and supporters and from fundraising events.

 

We are an independent non-profit organisation, set up as a registered charity over 20 years ago by a group of people with MS and their families and friends, with strong links with the Association of Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centres (Scotland) 
 

We provide practical therapies in a welcoming, friendly, supportive and positive ambience. These include affordable physiotherapy, reflexology, yoga and  Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (sometimes known as High Dosage Oxygen Therapy or  HDOT) The therapies are in addition to any other treatments being given by physicians and neurologists, and patients keep their General Practitioner informed on a form obtainable from us when beginning HBO sessions.


 

See how they run!

Our thanks and congratulations to the six runners who made a total of £1878.03 for us at the Great Edinburgh Run on May 6th, overcoming blisters, aching muscles, cobbles, Scots mist and sneaky hilly bits. Well done, Rachel, Gavin, and our four Mums on the Run. Could there be another Jo Pavey amongst you? Well done also to Douglas, who spent a week cycling around Sardinia, exchanging Edinburgh cobbles for Mediterranean mountains. He reports "Sardinia was great fun but tough at times. Covered around 500 miles in 19 1/2 hours. About 3 hours slower than winners but they all had their legs shaved. Well that’s my excuse! Distance was bearable but pace was beyond me."
