The Herts MS Therapy Centre has qualified Physiotherapists and Remedial Therapists who are on hand, by appointment, to provide one-to-one therapy sessions. They all work with trained assistants.
As with other therapies, they begin with an individual assessment. Physiotherapy and Remedial Therapy play a vital part in the control of MS as they can help bring the body back into balance, with particular emphasis on how to stand and walk correctly, how to rise from a sitting or lying position and how to achieve a comfortable position for sleep.
The department has a wide range of modern equipment, specifically chosen to provide the range of treatments required by people with MS and other neurological conditions, such as a cross trainer, stepper machine, walking machine/treadmill, static bikes, Balance Master machine, Medi-motion and VibroGym which may be used under guidance from the therapists. People are only asked to do what they are capable of and what is right for their condition. We currently offer Physiotherapy on Tuesday and Thursday and Remedial Therapy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, morning and afternoons. We will expand into evenings and weekends when there is enough demand for this.
Exercise is a vital ingredient in the specialised service we offer. This complements the traditional, hands on work that the therapists also offer here.
