My MS Diagnosis: Navigating MS Together

30 May marks World MS Day, and the global theme for 2024–2026 focuses on diagnosis. This initiative highlights the importance of early and accurate diagnosis, helping ensure that everyone living with MS can access the care, information, and support they need.

At MS & Parkinson’s Canterbury, we walk alongside people at every stage of their journey – whether newly diagnosed or living with MS for many years. Through exercise, social connection, health and wellbeing support, and education, we’re here to help you navigate MS with confidence. If you need support, or know someone who does, please get in touch – you don’t have to go through it alone.

To help ensure everyone has a fair chance to attend our exercise classes and gym sessions, booking in advance is required for all sessions. Spaces are limited, and if a class is full, we may need to turn you away if you haven’t booked.

How to Book
✅ Online
✅ At BrainTree reception
✅ By calling our office on 03 366 2857

Important Reminders
📅 Classes can be booked up to 4 weeks in advance
🚫 Walk-ins cannot be guaranteed a spot
✔️ Bookings are essential for all participants
📌 Bookings do not roll over automatically, even for regular classes
💳 Purchasing a concession card for 10 classes does not mean you are booked for 10 classes – you will still need to make bookings

Thank you for helping us keep our classes safe, fair, and enjoyable for everyone.
