New exercise sessions at Bedford MS Therapy Centre

We have a new member of staff at the Centre, Scott, who will be offering a range of group sessions across the week. Scott is a recent graduate of the MSc programme at the University of Bedfordshire and some of you may have already met him as he has been volunteering at the Centre supporting balance and Parkinson’s exercise sessions.

Cardio Sessions

Essential part of self-management of MS. In technical speak, “exercise releases myokines leading to increased IL-10 and regulatory signalling and it activates PGC-1α, driving mitochondrial biogenesis essential for Treg function”. Put simply it, can slow disability worsening.
