M S Mondays, at the Y.M.C.A. in Hanley

12-00 till 4-00pm
    (For people with Multiple Sclerosis and their carers)

 

MS Mondays is now into its 3rd year and is continuing to be of benefit to all who attend.
The main emphasis has always been on exercise and the pieces of equipment we have enable even the most physically challenged to get some benefit.

The activities are a bonus and I hope, help to make the day an enjoyable experience.  Along with the handicrafts and feel good sessions our latest addition has been the introduction of Reiki which seems to be going down well.

Last year has been quite eventful but we have managed to carry on as the YMCA continues to work on the new extension. Hopefully we will be using parts of the new layout before the next AGM

Thank you again for supporting me in what I feel is a weekly tonic in the management of MS and don’t forget if you haven’t joined us yet it only takes one visit to be part of our group.

The Hardest Yet

 

 

      Caution, men at work!!

 

As most of you are aware work has started on a huge expansion programme at The YMCA. 

It will be going on for the next 18 months and will include housing, new sports facilities and a coffee bar.
Every effort is being made to meet our needs during the upheaval, but, do BE CARFUL when negotiating the new entrances and pathways.    

At the moment the Sports Hall is reached from the temporary car park via the dining hall or round the pathway to the right of the building. 

What? Yes, another new piece of exercise equipment!
We have now got a toning table for our members to use along side our bikes and power plate.


The 15 minute session has many benefits including,

Improving circulation and posture, stretching the hamstrings and all abdominal muscles

to name but a few.

We never seem to run out of ideas to keep us busy on Monday afternoons.
Over the last few weeks
we have made fish mobiles and also coasters depicting scenes of The Potteries.

Seen below are some of our group having a go at floral art.
It was amazing to see what can be achieved just by using a few leaves from our gardens and a bunch of flowers.
