Shaun and Anna's Dry January · 2 January 2018

The Oxygen Works is a charity based in the Highlands of Scotland, supporting people with neurological and complex health conditions. We provide accessible, person centred therapies and support that help people improve wellbeing, independence and quality of life across the north of Scotland.

Story

The Oxygen Works: For over 25 years we have been providing practical and emotional support to people living with MS and other complex health conditions. We offer access to a wide range of therapies, supporting people to self-manage their symptoms.We actively seek to combat social exclusion, therefore we work with people of all ages living with a variety of conditions.In September we rebranded to The Oxygen Works; a name we feel reflects our diversity and ambition to become a centre of excellence for providing support to those living with health concerns.

Last year I (Anna) was diagnosed with a Frozen shoulder after a few months of thinking it was a new MS symptom. Fortunately it was not and I have not had any relapses since Jan 2014. However I was informed that a Frozen shoulder could take anywhere between 18 months and 5 years to resolve. Well if you know me I am not one to sit and wait something out. I explored the option of using Oxygen Therapy to speed up the healing process ( If Guy Martin can do it so can I) and have had around 14 sessions now. It has made a difference, not huge, but there is a subtle improvement. I am amazed at the stories I hear during my sessions and the value the therapy brings to people. I also hear of hyperbaric chambers lying empty in other places making people travel 100's of miles on a weekly basis to attend this one. I could not be luckier having this resource on my doorstep and want to raise funds to support this invaluable service for so many people. Shaun and I will be donating our 'beer money' at the end of the month but would love it if others can help us reach our goal of £250-£500 for this very worthy charity.
