Parkinson's

yes Postural Restoration Institute which is the organization behind Postural Restoration Therapy. I fully admit I looked into it for a while because I can see where I am all asymmetrical in my body, which was already a thing before the dystonia, but I have had so long of not having my normal flow of walking I felt even more so my hips were more truss and my left ribs flare and this shoulder is higher than the other. But is it a problem, or even if it is, will it all even out when I start to loose those tense areas in my body and start to feel like I flow better. Probably.

And yes, I think there is something to that sidestepping.

 

Interesting, thanks. As soon as I saw "postural" though my hackles raised up to "IGNORE! IGNORE!" - I have grown to despise all those posture-related cures for RSI etc after going down that path before I learned about TMS.

On a different note, I think I am going to stop participating in this thread. I started it when I had a concern (unfounded) about possible Parkinson's, but it has since transformed into this Dystonia talk. I'm a little concerned someone will click on this with a Parkinson's concern and get misled as a result.

Maybe I'll start a new thread for this subject, I dunno. What that thread will be I'm not sure, frankly I don't even think what I'm experiencing is actual "dystonia" anyway - certainly not in the extreme sense of some of the videos I've seen (or that poor lady that has to run backwards!) Mine seems to be a strong "resistance" to running at the offset - that first 10-20min I keep harping on - before I smooth out and am able to run normal. I'm sure there is something there to mine the depths of why there might be "resistance" at all. We'll see, I'll give it some thought.

 

ok I dunno how that was all a quote but hopefully you get my message!
