Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen is essential to every one of the tissues in the body and any tissue injury requires oxygen for healing. Recent research in the University of Dundee has shown that, in the inflammation that is typical of MS, the transport of oxygen is severely limited by tissue swelling. It has been shown that, despite the blood flow increasing many times, there may be a severe lack of oxygen in the affected area so that, just when oxygen is needed most, it cannot reach the tissue in sufficient quantity.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a complementary therapy widely accepted in the UK and recognised by the NHS and many GP’s. Reflexology takes a holistic approach to healing, treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. When you are ill Reflexologists are of the opinion that your body is in a state of ‘imbalance’, and this stops your body from functioning effectively. The purpose of the therapy is to normalise the body's functioning, to help break down tension, and to improve nerve functioning and blood supply throughout the whole body, restoring the body to a state of balance and natural equilibrium.
