Physiotherapy and Dystonia

 Physiotherapy and my Dystonia 

Pain reliever. 

It relieves muscle pain and many others. It has been very helpful for me to heal the pain for the past two years. Great pain management therapy. Whenever I have the pain I just go physio to ease the pain. However, it was working external improvement not the root of the problem. The root of my problem is my nervous system and my brain (neurons are shooting). Not the muscles. No matter how times I go physio, the pain still comes back as I have involuntary movements. It was temporary relief. Deep brain stimulation (like brain surgery) was the final suggestion by the neurologist. And there is no guarantee on full recovery, it's 50-50. I disagree with that suggestion as my condition is not worse. I'm still looking for alternative methods. 


Here are a few (there's many)  benefits of physiotherapy:

  • Pain management

  • Avoiding surgery

  • Improved mobility and movement

  • Recovery from injury or trauma

  • Recovery from stroke or paralysis

  • Fall prevention

  • Improved balance

  • Management of age-related medical problems


There are more treatments in physio, not only exercises.

  • Ultrasound (my favourite)
  • Therapeutic massage/ soft tissue mobilization (my favourite)
  • Electrotherapy
  • Cryotherapy and Heat Therapy
  • Kinesio Taping
  • Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises

  • Hydrotherapy 
  • Acupuncture and Dry Needling
  • Vestibular Physiotherapy
  • Women’s Health Physiotherapy

You can refer physiotherapist if there's any physical pain in the body. It's not scary or expensive. Many don't know that physio can relieve the pain in the body. Well, I had a limited amount of knowledge back then. I didn't know there's physiotherapy to relieve tremendous pain from my body. I'm sharing this as it might help anyone who is in pain. Share the knowledge to the person if they are constantly complaining about physical pain. 


If you know any knowledge/ methods/ways of improving neurological disorder, let me know.

A thank you note for everyone that been helping me after my surgery

Thank you to those who have been giving me suggestions on traditional & modern treatments for my epilepsy triggers. My epilepsy has been on a real rollercoaster ride since the surgery. I've been struggling with some intense emotions and even felt moments of fear about leaving my body. The pain has been incredibly challenging. Thankfully, after consulting two neurologists, they increased my medication dosage. This has been incredibly helpful for both my sleep and reducing my epilepsy triggers. My family has been working tirelessly to make me better. I have been crying so much because of the pain. They might not see this post, but I’m incredibly grateful for their strength and support. Beyond medication, food has become a powerful tool in my journey towards healing. I'm excited to explore how conscious eating can contribute to my long-term well-being Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and all the other natural foods that Mother Nature gives us are also important to take into the body....

Are you important?

Are you important to yourself? Yes, you are. You are important to yourself. Your problem, family, job, money, relationship is not important than you. You are important in your life. Without you nothing can be done. You are so distracted that you didn't see yourself. Even me. Let me remind you, you are so important. This statement never hit me until I fall really sick. The moment of alter pain and disable, that's when I realized how important I'm (my body and mind) is to me. I didn't care about my body, I didn't give enough nutrients, I didn't study about my diagnosis, I was in the world of distraction. I didn't take care and give attention to myself. I thought medicine is enough for my body to heal. I WAS WRONG. Medication only is not enough for my body. I wish my doctors tell me if I workout/exercise I will get better. Or take enough nutrients. No, they didn't say anything like that. They only say "Take this medicine you will be ...
