Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis

Who we are

Overcoming MS is the world’s leading multiple sclerosis healthy lifestyle charity established in 2012. We are unique in our whole person approach and practical evidence-based focus upon self-management of MS, formulated as a holistic program. 

At Overcoming MS, we are here for everyone with MS who wants to take control of their health and wellbeing.

Although there is currently no cure for MS, we help people with MS to live well by making informed lifestyle choices. They have clear, practical actions to take, by following an evidence-based self-management program. This program uses substantial scientific evidence of how holistic self-care, alongside medical therapies, benefits people’s physical and mental health. Knowing people can change their risk of deterioration through lifestyle choices gives hope to us all.

Our vision is that people with MS feels empowered to take control of their health, are making informed lifestyle choices and living a full and healthy life.
