Focal Hand Dystonia

Every week I get emails from around the world asking me about the condition ‘focal dystonia’. It is a very difficult and frustrating process to recover from, which requires absolute comittment, determination and above all else patience! I have uploaded a few articles by leading specialists on the subject. Katherine Butler was my specialist who has done a great deal of research into focal dystonia amongst musicians. The best advice I can give is that you do have to retrain the brain’s messages to the fingers, so you must take things very slowly and please, please be patient! It took me nearly six years to completely recover and start giving concerts again. Please feel free to contact me if you have any related queries.
