Muscular Dystrophy Support Centre is a unique multidisciplinary centre and charity set up to offer specialised physical therapies and support to adults in the UK living with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular conditions. It is the first centre in the Midlands and only the second in the country to provide tailored therapies for these conditions which cause progressive muscle-wasting**.
We rely on the commitment and incredible generosity of our fundraisers and donors 100% to provide these vital services and help to ensure the well-being of people with muscular dystrophy.
Why not do something brilliant today and donate, sign up for one of our events or organise your own! Signing up as a regular donor will help us even more by providing the ongoing funding we need to fund and increase the availability of our therapies.
Thank you!
**The correct physiotherapy is essential to people with muscle wasting diseases as it maintains mobility and reduces the rate of muscle deterioration. One of the main services the Centre offers is free and ongoing specialist physiotherapy and osteopathy for people with these conditions. We also aim to provide other therapies and support for other areas of life that become challenging to people with muscle wasting diseases. There are over 70,000 people with muscle wasting disease in the UK and around 12,000 of these are in the Midlands region alone. People with these conditions experience a significant reduction in the amount of physiotherapy they receive from the NHS after turning the age of 19.
