MD Support Centre is a small, independent charity funded primarily through voluntary donations. We are a unique multidisciplinary centre, set up to offer specialised physical therapies and support to people in the UK living (in the Midlands and beyond) with neuromuscular conditions, which cause progressive muscle-wasting.
There are 110,000 people with muscle wasting conditions throughout the UK and around 12,000 adults 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.
The tailored physical therapies are essential for people with muscle wasting diseases to maintain mobility and reduce the rate of muscle deterioration. One of the main services the Centre offers is free and ongoing specialist physical therapies (physiotherapy, osteopathy and complementary therapies) for people with these conditions. In addition, we have services available to offer support for other areas of life that become challenging to people with muscle wasting conditions.
