The Muscular Dystrophies (MD) are a group of inherited genetic conditions that gradually cause the muscles to weaken, leading to an increasing level of disability.

MD is a progressive condition, which means it gets worse over time. It often begins by affecting a particular group of muscles, before affecting the muscles more widely. Some types of Muscular Dystrophies eventually affect the heart or the muscles used for breathing.

Although there is no cure for MD, treatment can help to manage many of the symptoms, we ensure our carers are experienced in all aspects of caring for individuals with varying needs and diagnosis. Supporting people and their families to feel safe and cared for. 

Our team have experience in working with specialist equipment, such as Cough assist and ventilation equipment and are provided with training in specialist equipment so that your loved one is cared for to a high standard.
