 Location map

To get there:    By car, turn off Bonnington Road near its junction with Great Junction Street, Leith.
By bus, Number 12 goes from Princes St. to the foot of Leith Walk. Other buses go along Great Junction St from various parts of the city.

At MSTC Lothian in Edinburgh we have an HBO chamber which can hold up to 8 people at a time in comfortable chairs. It can also accommodate wheelchairs through the wide door, so there is no need to transfer from wheelchair to chair. We can pipe in radio or music through headphones, and keep a supply of books and magazines to fill in the treatment hour. However, it has been noticed that several of our members seem to prefer to indulge in a little siesta!

Members contribute a donation of about £9 a session toward the cost of running the Centre
Many give more than this, and help with fundraising as well.

We also offer reflexology (at considerably less than the going rate), and physiotherapy sessions with a physiotherapist who has years of experience of the particular needs of people with MS.

We also offer counselling, acupuncture and yoga and can put individuals in touch with other professionals. There is a wide range of literature, videos and audio cassettes and a comfortable area to read, watch TV or a video, or have a chat and a cup of coffee.

Three full-time staff run the Lothian Centre, with a physiotherapist and a team of volunteers who are always ready to help.
