Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

People with MS can benefit from breathing pure oxygen at higher pressure. A higher concentration of oxygen can be absorbed, providing relief from symptoms.

Why we need your support

Harrow MS Therapy Centre is a registered charity and the only MS Centre to serve north west London and surrounding areas. All our income is provided by our members and supporters, but we never deny treatment to those who need it.

Therapies for MS

Physiotherapy and exercise classes

Physio plays a vital role in the management of MS. Our Centre has a team of experienced physiotherapists.

Exercising regularly will keep your body working to its full potential; our weekly exercise class at the Centre is designed for people with MS.

Oxygen therapy

By breathing pure oxygen at more than atmospheric pressure a high concentration can be absorbed thus promoting healing.

Other therapies: chiropody, yoga, reflexology, massage
