The Centre is open for pre-booked physiotherapy appointments, foot health, acupuncture and oxygen only.
Our remote support services will continue 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.
For online EXERCISE CLASSES and Yoga please email exercise@chilternsmscentre.org to be sent the Zoom link. Bookings must be received by the day before the class.
For OXYGEN appointments please email oxygen@chilternsmscentre.org. We are currently only allowing 2 people in the chamber at one time, following strict guidelines that will be explained to you when you book your appointment.
PHYSIO appointments require an initial telephone consultation. Please call us or email info@chilternsmscentre.org to arrange a call with your physiotherapist.
New member referrals are welcome. Please call us to arrange a chat with one of our clinical team.
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 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.
