Supporting you to live life with Multiple Sclerosis
Providing a range of specialist therapies and support to help our MS community
Welcome to the Berkshire MS Therapy Centre
We are a charity that offers in-person and online support for people with Multiple Sclerosis and their families
As a charity, we offer our core therapies (physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, counselling and footcare) on a donation basis and our complementary therapies are offered at significantly discounted rates. We welcome donations from those who can afford to contribute toward the running of the Centre.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with MS for a while, please get in touch.
Our activities
We are here to support people with MS and provide therapies focused on managing symptoms. You will also find a supportive community ready to help you.
14,000+
treatments provided by the Berkshire MS Therapy Centre in the past year alone.
Over 300
local people with Multiple Sclerosis supported
100%
of our members would recommend the Centre to other people with Multiple Sclerosis
Without the Centre’s support I would have found it virtually impossible to motivate myself to exercise and my current fitness would be nowhere near as good as it is. The contact with other people through the classes has also been fantastic, providing friendship, laughs and understanding from the community based around the Centre.
