Did you know that recovery from musician's focal dystonia is possible? Good news...it is! Growing number of musicians have resolved focal dystonia symptoms and many who have, have done so by training.
These series of video is an attempt to share some of the self-training ideas and techniques that has been proven effective by me (Akiko Trush) and some of my fellow MFD colleagues. Training requires a lot of patience, but by grasping few key ideas and by having some persistence, recovery is possible. It's about consciously working on freeing every little movement one micro step at a time. The key is to be observant and to learn a little bit about why you might be experiencing the symptoms, what really is going on and how to break down the steps and most important of all, have a free mind.
In this video, I talk about approaching focal dystonia as vague or exaggerated body image problem.
When we approach the uncomfortable sensation and even the scary feeling that a musician with focal dystonia experiences when he or she is using specific part of the body as a body’s defensive reaction to not knowing and not owning parts of the body, and start re-constructing a body image that it might be lacking to make sense of what is going on, the excessive tension or the un-movement starts freeing up.
