Active Neuro

Active Neuro is currently available to anyone living with any neurological condition in the Dublin, West or Mid-West regions. Programmes are funded by the HSE and led by specialist neuro physios directly employed by MS Ireland. Most programmes are online, which means that we can group people by ability, by their goals or by their educational need to ensure that the exercises are suitable for each person.

People with MS and other neurological conditions in Dublin, Clare, Limerick, North Tipperary, Galway, Mayo and Roscommon can take part in our online Move Smart Exercise and Education programmes that consist of 45 minutes of education and 45 minutes of exercise.

People in these counties can also take part in our exercise only programmes led by our physios and physio assistants. Click here for more information on Physio led Exercise programmes.

The successful Sláintecare Integration Fund Project, Active Neuro, employs an integrated care approach to delivering health promoting physical activity programmes for adults with neurological conditions. Research data on this programme has been used to improve the programmes further, and to successfully lobby for statutory funding of our services.

Active Neuro is a unique program - it is open to people with any neurological condition. Working together with other charities and with the HSE means that we are “stronger together.” We share knowledge, skills, and evidence to further improve programmes. Active Neuro also employs specialist physiotherapists who combine exercise and education to deliver programmes.

Active Neuro Programme

Our next block begins after Easter. The programmes on offer, as well as their times and dates are yet to be determined.

Typically, Active Neuro runs strength classes, balance classes and programs for those using wheelchairs. We will be updating this page as soon as the list of programs for September is confirmed. Be sure to check back soon for a comprehensive list.
