MS Society Newsletter Apr – June
In the Water (from MS Society April-June Newsletter)
People with MS are being offered a new aquatic exercise class in Summertown, Oxford.
You need to be able to walk independently (with or without an aid) and use long and shallow steps in the pool on your own. There is a rail with steps. The water is 31 or 32 degrees warmer than standard pool water, but not quite as hot as a hydrotherapy pool, thus limiting the possible fatigue effect.
The classes take place at the Ferry Leisure Centre at Diamond Place, Summertown, Oxford. Initial dates are Monday 8th, 15th 22nd May from 11-11.40am (cost £30, including introductory dry land assessment), followed by a six week block, same time, on Monday 5th, 12th, 19th,26th June and 3rd, 10th July (cost £8 per session, block booking required). To join the class email Caroline Hyne (Physiotherapist) on caroline@onphysio.co.uk or call 07702884531.
