Default Stretching

Hi Libra,

I have WICKED dystonia...just wanted to use that word..lol. Just finished a month long battle with it started trying neuro patch...I think we can all agree how that went..lol. increased sinemet feel much better.

Point I wanted to make is through whole process continued marital arts training..I noticed that when i have longer break periods the dystonia hurts more because the muscles are tighter than when I keep them stretched out. My last workout consisted of 45 min. rubbing muscles and just doing stretches. I believe this is helping....there are many books or check internet on how to stretch various muscle groups...which can be done right at home!!!

I will tell you that sometimes my whole body will shake trying to focus and move through the twisting...however my feeling is it can't hurt anymore.

Be Well...Hope this helps
