To get "knowledgable" treatment, you need to see a Neurological Physiotherapist.The extra training they have received is about knowing dystonia is "brain based" and on-going, rather than from an "injury" that is going to get better.
The therapist has to know that however much hard work and care they give, the condition is on-going. That can be very disheartening for a therapist. An ordinary one expects their care will make you better.The best thing my neurophysio did for me and my C.D. was to tell me about eye tracking exercises and give me a selection of core stability to work on. I do these most days, even though I am now greatly improved.
She also showed my hubby how to stretch and smooth out the knotted, stuck and twisted muscles in my neck. That meant I had his therapy whenever I needed it, in the past every day. [these days rarely ever.] Sensible advise given was that you can do anything in the way of massage and exercise unless it sets the dystonic symptoms off. But with any massage and exercise, I think we can expect to feel some discomfort for a day or too without worrying. Its if it lasts longer, then it was maybe the wrong sort or too much. Linda
