How I resolved focal dystonia symptoms on the computer keyboard

Описание: 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 what I did to resolve focal dystonia symptoms on the computer keyboard.

Typing was nearly impossible to do at first..
My whole hand tensed up no matter which finger I was using to press the keys down.
Even when it started out with little tension, it got increasingly tense as I typed 2 or more keys.
The secret to breaking the build up of tension was to gain independence of each finger by waiting patiently for the dystonic reaction to calm down in between each movement.

Here's what I did on the computer keyboard to retrain.
I later started to apply the same idea to piano keyboard.
