Loretta has just summed up what I was trying to say about how much you may need to put in to get a fairly small functional improvement which can make a massive difference to your quality of life.

I had endless physio for years both before and after my diagnosis and whilst I made only minuscule functional improvements, I am certain that in the long term this has had a real benefit. I have fewer sensitivity issues, I have more mobility than i would have had in my originally affected foot and ankle, I have probably got more mobility than I would otherwise have in my other limbs (all are affected) and I am sure my dystonia which affects my whole body from my toes to my neck and face is less severe because it could be much more fixed than it is. It also helps you feel better about yourself because its one of the few things you can actively do to help yourself. Swallowing pills isn't very satisfying!!
