About Us
The Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (Lothian) is 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) and other services. 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.
Fellow patients and professional therapists provide practical help and advice to people with MS and their families in order to help them to take control of the management of their MS and live a full life.
This help includes: specialised physiotherapy, HBO (hyperbaric oxygen treatment), professional counselling contacts, reflexology, yoga, advice, contacts on disability grants and benefits, a place for people with MS and their carers to discuss their problems and benefit from shared experience.
