Live your best life

Medical evidence shows that a total wellness approach covering exercise, diet, cognitive stimulation, and social connection, has a hugely positive impact on tackling brain health.

MSPC has been helping people navigate through the health sector, home-life, transport and mobility, social services and more for over 60 years.

We specialise in our service offerings for people with MS or Parkinson’s, and understand that health and wellbeing encompasses all parts of a person - their physical, spiritual, mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as the wellbeing of their whānau.

What Our Clients Say

“Excellent service. The Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Canterbury do a fantastic job helping those people and their families diagnosed with one of these conditions. Very approachable and helpful they even have an exercise gym there for people who need physio assistance with their treatment. The society requires donations to stay open. If you can donate they would greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide. Located at Brain Tree you need to drive up past WINZ.”

“Great talk thank you Dr Mason, and thanks team for making it possible and making this recording available for those of us unable to attend today.

Knowing I can view at a time that suits me is excellent.'

Thank you so much for making the time to visit our group today.

Everyone really appreciated your down to earth, realistic approach to some of the many hurdles, we may encounter on our Parkinson’s journey.

I wish some of these issues had been discussed with us along the way, very practical advice in language we understand. Whether we have been living with these things, for several years, or just beginning to realise how complex Parkinson’s is – your approach seems very practical and easy to follow.  A breath of fresh air for us all.
