The diagnosis of MS has a huge impact on a person,
as well as their family. Cookstown Multiple Sclerosis was established
to create a locally based support structure for people with
MS, their families and their carers. |
We assist individuals and their families through
weekly meetings where members can support each other, discussing
difficulties and finding solutions from the experience of others
who may have encountered these problems previously. We also
have a qualified counsellor. |
We offer provide various therapies to members
of our group. |
|
Tai Chi |
T'ai chi may be done individually
or in groups. A high level of strength and flexibility are not
required because it is based largely on technique. T'ai chi
consists of slow, rhythmic body movements. The arms are moved
slowly and smoothly in circular movements while weight is shifted
from one leg to the other and specific breathing techniques
are used. more

Reflexology |
Not only can specific presented MS problems be
approached through massage and stimulation, but this holistic
therapy assists with the emotional unease that accompanies any
imbalance within the body. more

Bi-aura |
Bi-aura practitioners use their
enhanced energy sensitivity to scan the energy field surrounding
the body to detect blockages and imbalances affecting the health
and vitality of the physical body. We have experienced some
very good results from Bi-aura. more

Indian Head Massage |
Indian Head Massage is a therapy whereby the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face are massaged. Benefits include ease of tense and knotted muscles in back, shoulder and neck area and improvement in circulation. It is a versatile therapy as all that is required is a chair and clients do not need to undress so it is particularly suitable for people with Multiple Sclerosis. more |
