Dear all,
I was at the Dr.Farias lecture at Tokyo University.
The neurologists explained that Farias' exercises would induce neuro plasticity of the brain. Dr Farias explained that more than 90% of the people that followed the treatment experienced remarkable improvement. He showed some videos of people recovering fluency in their movements within hours or improving from severe Dystonia to mild Dystonia in 2 days. He even showed a man playing the violin after generalized Dystonia. He explained that retraining involves using your memory to recover your coordination in the quickest way possible. It is la way to boost your brain to learn and organize new information.
Everyone that took part in the workshop improved their coordination. Some people reacted to the treatment in a dramatic way. After 15 years of not being able to play, one pianist started to play after a 2-hour class. One guitarist recovered 95% of his motor skills in 6 hours.
After the lecture I think that we are about to change the concept about what it is F.D and its possible recover
Best wishes to all
