Cycling with MS

This article is written by a woman with MS who searched for (and found) a suitable exercise regimen to replace her love of cycling when her mobility became limited. She discovered a handcycle that attaches to a wheelchair, and so took up handcycling. There are details on how she made her discovery, how it works, how she feels now and useful contact details.

Inclusive Fitness Initiative

This is an initiative from the English Sports Council to get gyms around the country accessible for disabled people. The site allows you to find accessible facilities in your area and gives details on the initiative.

UK Natural Health Specialist

The site was set up by a woman who has had MS for 20 years and runs a specialist clinic. She has written a book called 'The Complete MS Body Manual' as a guide to the impact of MS and produced an MS home exercise video aimed at all levels. Both are available to buy on the website.
