IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Last updated 24/03/2020
We are following government advice on social distancing and therefore all face-to-face appointments and activities are suspended and the building is temporarily closed.
We are providing a remote support service through telephone and video calls with our physio team, live exercise classes, online workshops, virtual social activities and telephone counselling. We are still accepting new members, although assessments will take place via telephone/video call.
On this page you will find links to helpful advice and services, as well as articles and videos on additional exercises, workshops and activities you can do from home.
If you have any concerns please contact us on 01296 696133 or info@chilternsmscentre.org
Can you recommend any exercises that I can do at home?
Yes! Your therapist will advise a suitable home programme for you but we have put together a list of suitable videos on exercise, relaxation and more. It will be updated weekly with links to new videos for you to try at home. If you find any others that are useful why not tell us too by emailing us at the address above or posting them to our page on Facebook.
