The Middlesbrough MS Therapy Centre is an independent local charity that provides a unique service of low cost therapies for MS sufferers, their carers and their families. Although MS is at yet incurable, much can be done to improve the quality of life of MS sufferers. The MS Therapy Centre opened in 1985 by local people affected by MS. Its aim is to provide MS sufferers in Tees Valley and surrounding areas with therapy, support and information. The centre provides a range of vital therapies aimed at limiting the problems of MS. We are not part of a larger organisation and are totally self funding. We receive no government funding and raise our income through member’s donations towards the cost of treatment along with the fundraising efforts of our members, volunteers and local businesses.
