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.

Relationship and Disability

Relationship and disability  Many asked me about relationships and disability. Well let's talk about it.  What is a relationship? It's two people independently coming together to live their best version out. It's not an escape from loneliness. It's two people sharing happiness, joy, and love to each other. It's actually about yourself with another person. It reflects you like a mirror. You will learn more about yourself in a relationship. The other is there as a blessing to be a witness of your transformation. But many fail to understand this and it creates such chaos. Relationship is definitely it's not meant to fight or argue all day long😂  Relationships are already a big task for a normal able body. Being disabled while having a relationship is another whole story.  Can a disabled person have a relationship? Definitely can! And I think you should have! Because you will learn about others and so many beautiful values. As a disabled person I see th...

Being grateful for everything we have

I was reading and there's a line "it made us to be more grateful for all that we had". It just hit me. Yes, I'm grateful for all I have.  My family that prays for the well being of myself, my health, literally everything. Maybe it's easy to forget the things they did for our well being. Maybe we did forget. We forget the love shown in every way possible. Mother's food to survive for more than decades. Dad's protection over bad vibes.  Then there's our friends. Selflessly loved us for who we are. Without any expectations from us. Isn't it enough? Or are we expecting something more?  A body that functions well without conscious effort to pump the blood, to send direction or to breathe. Mentally and physically strong; body and mind.  And we have nature to feel loved by earth. I think there's nothing more beautiful than nature. The beach, forest, sunrise, sunset, rain, river, literally nature itself. Such a delight and blessings to witn...
