Focal and occupational dystonia have symptoms that appear in a specific part of the body and are accompanied by uncontrolled movements. Recently named as dystonia, the symptoms have been acknowledged as a difficult-to-cure occupational disease suffered not only by pianists but also by players of various musical instruments, and issues related to this disease are becoming clarified.
Presently, various therapeutic methods are being tested worldwide, but a definitive therapeutic method has yet to be established. As such, many dystonia patients feel isolated without a clear solution.
Though some effects are expected from symptomatic treatment via Botox injections, patients should continue with rehabilitation. Due to the uniqueness of these symptoms, rehabilitation may be the only solution.
Therefore, each dystonia patient who has gone through rehabilitation should share their knowledge and approach based on their own experiences with the world, as they could provide support for others’ recovery.
Techniques discussed here are useful for curing dystonia in pianists.
