Physiotherapy
Expert care with state of the art equipment
It’s an exciting time to be part of the charity as we move toward a physiotherapy led service. MSRRF will work with you to improve mobility, manage symptoms, and enhance overall well-being using tailored exercise and physical activity plans.
Introducing our physiotherapy services
Our physiotherapy services are tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals with MS. Our skilled physiotherapist will work with you to improve mobility, manage symptoms, and enhance overall well-being using tailored exercise and physical activity plans.
The Pashler Physiotherapy Centre is one of only a handful of places in the UK to have an AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill which we hope will be a game changer for some of our service users.
The Alter G
The AlterG treadmill offers significant benefits for individuals with MS, enhancing their ability to exercise safely and effectively. By utilising advanced Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology, the AlterG treadmill reduces the user's effective body weight, alleviating stress on joints and muscles. This allows individuals with MS to engage in walking or running exercises without the fear of overexertion or injury. The controlled, low-impact environment helps improve cardiovascular health, increase muscle strength, and maintain overall mobility, which are crucial for managing the symptoms of MS and improving the quality of life.
​
MSRRF are one of only a handful of places in the country using this equipment to benefit people with MS.
The Story of Southside House
Our state of the art physiotherapy centre was made possible thanks to a legacy received in 2017. South Side House will officially open as the Pashler Physiotherapy Centre in 2025. This was the foundation for our charity to begin the move toward becoming a physiotherapy led service. The Pashler Physiotherapy Centre is one of only a handful of places in the UK to have an AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill which has been a game changer for some of our service users.
May 2017-June 2017
Preplanning is submitted and the house is purchased using legacy funding.
June 2018
The planning application is approved to turn South Side House into a physiotherapy centre. The groundwork begins early 2020.
April 2020
Building work is halted due to COVID and government restrictions. The pandemic has a catastrophic effect on the income of the charity.

David Nicholas Construction are brought in to rescue the project and see the build through to completion.
April 2023 to now
The AlterG Anti Gravity Treadmill arrives in April and our first service users begin trials in September of 2023.
Welcome
to The Pashler Physiotherapy Centre
In 2025 we officially opened the Pashler Physiotherapy Centre at South Side, North Seaton. This new space expands MSRRF’s physiotherapy-led support, offering accessible treatment rooms, tailored exercise and specialist equipment—including an AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The opening was marked by a ceremony where Newcastle United legend David Wright did the honours of cutting the ribbon. It was also broadcast on Tyne Tees and we got a chance to unveil our fantastic 5 minute feature film that has been created over the last several months.
