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.

Listen to your child's body and mind. If you notice any concerning changes in their involuntary movements, speech, or behavior, seek immediate medical attention.

Beauty of being oneself brings so much joy

Beauty of being oneself brings so much joy. If you are following me, then you will be aware of my body condition. I have dystonia and epilepsy, which is exhausting to handle both. You can tell that I'm in pain by the way my body arches toward my back. I wanted to write something today.  My dystonia really can destroy my day but I choose to be happy about it. If my dystonia goes crazy, I'm going to be even crazier.   Throughout the learning process of my journey, I learned one of the most important things in my life. Being in a happy state of mind despite my condition. My condition can be really bad but I choose to be happy with it. Why not right? And the joy I have accepting for who I'm.  We have been working for our daily survival and we forget to be happy with what we have. That creates so much misery within ourselves. We lose ourselves running after money, fame, status and so many other things. Let's breathe. Be grateful for this life, this body you ha...

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...
