The results of the trial indicated both an improvement in symptoms and some protection from deterioration in more than half the people treated. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-medium; color: #000000; font-family: geneva,arial;\">The results of subsequent studies in Britain and abroad varied from a worst of \u2018no obvious change\u2019 to a variety of positive changes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-medium; color: #000000; font-family: geneva,arial;\">Our centre has been providing the therapy continuously since 1985.

They can read, knit, play cards and are easily able to talk with the operator at any time. Operators are skilled and trained. The therapy does not offer a cure but many people have benefited from reduced severity of symptoms and an improved quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A quick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sawAOUvc2VU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video<\/a> by Solent \u00a0MS Therapy Centre gives a better idea of the insides of our chambers, regrettably we don't have any murals though!

Members can call the centre to book a 'dive'. You are asked to arrive 15 minutes before the start of the dive to avoid any delays.
