Story

There are an estimated 4.7 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition, in our region alone, in 2018, it was thought that just over 10,000 people were living with a long term chronic neurological condition.

A diagnosis of a neurological condition is often a traumatic moment, and The Brightwell offers a safe space to terms with the news and work out a way to move forward. The therapies we offer are designed to address the many different symptoms of a neurological condition and our aim is to help people live a full, meaningful and independent life.

Our core treatments are Neuro Physiotherapy & Oxygen Therapy. Neuro Physio is only provided by the NHS for 6 weeks post diagnosis but at The Brightwell we offer this care life-long at a subsidised rate for members. Our Oxygen Therapy is not available outside of MS Therapy Centres, apart from a handful of very expensive private clinics, therefore we are unique in this provision in our area. For most of our members the idea of funding private treatment, not available on the NHS, is completely out of reach.

About the charity

The West of England MS Therapy Centre is part of The Brightwell Partnership. The therapies and support we provide are to help our members maintain independence, minimise their symptoms and to improve general wellbeing. Membership is open to anyone with a neurological condition, such as MS.
