Podiatrist involved in MS society
Tuesday 25th May 2010
A society created to help people who suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS) is provided by a number of healthcare professionals, including a podiatrist.
The West Oxfordshire MS Society, which recently celebrated its fifth birthday, provides foot health sessions once a month, the Witney Gazette reports.
It is run by neuro-physiotherapist Femke Maselkowski, who has been taking part in the initiative since the first week.
A total of 35 patients are part of the group, which is a rise on the 16 who initially began attending.
Meanwhile, of those first members, ten are still in the society.
Anyone who suffers from the medical condition is welcome to turn up to the activities, which are held on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 BST at Burwell Hall in Witney.
As well as podiatry, massage therapy is provided.
A neurological condition, MS can occur at any age, although in most cases symptoms first appear between 20 and 40.
