Dystonia Awareness Week 2018

Dystonia awareness week is a campaign designed to increase community engagement and awareness of the condition and to provide appropriate, researched information for adults and children with dystonia, their carers and interested health providers.

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that makes it difficult for people to control their muscles. It can cause abnormal twisting or positions in part(s) of the body along with spasms or tremors.

“Currently, there are no medications or treatments to prevent dystonia or slow its progression, nor is there a cure. “

Get involved this September by:

• Raising awareness on social media
• Informing the community
• Volunteering with the foundation
• Making a donation
