The Dystonia Society is the only UK-wide charity to provide practical and emotional support for the upward of 40,000 people living with dystonia, their families and carers as well as seeking to raise awareness in the general public of issues affecting people with dystonia. Dystonia is an incurable neurological movement disorder which causes involuntary and sustained muscle spasms which can be very painful as well as causing abnormal movement and postures. Dystonia affects men and women of all ages and ethnic groups with childhood dystonia being particularly distressing.
