With increasing referrals from GPs and specialist neurological Consultants across the Midlands, the Centre has recruited new therapists to join our established team. This is fantastic news for us, as a young charity, demonstrating the significant need for condition specific therapies for patients with muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions, that the NHS has limited capacity and expertise to provide. Consultants referring to us recognise the huge impact ongoing therapy can make to the management of these conditions, improving quality of life, reducing incidents of falls and the need to access more acute and costly care.
We can therefore now offer a range of treatments, all specifically agreed with patients following a detailed assessment, at a time to suit. The following days are available for appointments:
