Saltney Outreach Project with MS Conwy Br.

Its been a privilage for me being appointed as a Physiotherapist on a out reach project to provide Physiotherapy servises to MS Conwy Branch in partnership with MS Support Centre, Saltney.The first inseption took on 30th Oct, 09 which was a quite different role to conduct Clinics in such way which was a great feel to me in my Proffessional and Personel Development.

Its a drive of 45 miles from my home and the drive along the sea coast along Colwyn Bay was amazing which is like a rejuvenating pill of my week day work. The venue is Eirias park which is one of the Best leisure centre i hav a ever seen with the greenery allround , the park, the landscapes, the pool, Gymnasia and what not, on the whole its a perfect place for me.
This project is meant to offer 1-2-1 Physiotherapy Sessions and group exercise classes on Fridays at Eirias Park Leisure Centre, Colwyn Bay.
The aims of the project are: -
 Improved access to exercise and physiotherapy for people with MS.
 To educate people with MS about the value of the right type of exercise.
 To make links with a local fitness centre and to help the instructors understand the particular needs of people with MS
 To provide exercise in a ‘normal’ environment and present opportunities to enjoy other exercise and social activities
You will be offered:-
 8 Individual physiotherapy sessions over a period of 8 weeks
 The opportunity to join in a group exercise class with the Physiotherapist
 Opportunity to move on to an exercise class delivered by a trained Instructor. This will help to maintain flexibility and mobility in an enjoyable way
The aim is for all people who sign up for the Physiotherapy Sessions to then attend the Exercise Classes which will be appropriate for all levels of mobility. These classes will be fun; keep you fit and help maintain the benefits of the Physiotherapy. They will also offer an opportunity to meet people and make new friends with whom you can share beneficial activities.


Exciting new project in Conwy! A new joint venture between MS Society Conwy County Branch and Saltney MS Therapy Centre launches on 30 October.

The project will offer 1-2-1 Physiotherapy sessions and group exercise classes aimed at keeping you fit, maintaining flexibility, and of course, meeting new people and having fun!

The sessions will be held at Colwyn Leisure Centre, Eirias Park Colwyn Bay, LL29 7SP on Fridays.
