Musicians with Dystonia Bulletin Board

Answering your question "I'd be very interested to know if your process included the idea of "avoiding", not controlling, the dystonic movement by finding a ridiculously slow movement that has no (or as little as possible) weirdness, and growing it from there, staying "beneath the threshold" of when things go wrong. If I expressed it right, I think that's a technique that has helped many people. But I don't consider it controlling. To what degree did your process use ultra slow movement vs. "up to speed"?"

No, I've never tried to "avoid" the dystonic movement or the "weirdness", and I never worked below the threshold. I used full movements at any speed I felt it was being useful but absolutely never ultra-slow (I've tried the ultra-slow though, but before going with this method and it wasn't useful for me), I always played as if I was "normal", the orders of movement I've always sent from my brain were those of being "normal", ultra-slow or below the threshold didn't apply to me. I played at speeds that didn't take my hand or fingers to a full cramp. I played at speeds that allowed me to keep moving my fingers.

There are several things I did as I played, not just letting it go (that's one of the biggest foundations of the process but not the only thing to do) but I really need to sit and try to remember and think to be able to explain it to the detail I've read you and guitarist are able to explain things. I never really focused so so much to the detail, for me it was more... simple?

Anyway, I don't want to explain exactly what I did in this or any other post that it's not specific to that, which is "explaining what I did". There are lot of useful information flying around in this forum that gets lost hidden within threads that have actually nothing to do with that info. When I know I can explain it well by writing it (I am still trying to do a good text), I'll create a thread.
