A Dystonia Disorder story

I am a classical guitarist with right hand focal dystonia, onset in spring 2011.  I made no progress with recovery until I went to Toronto to see Dr. Joaquin Farias in September 2014.  He is the world's leading expert on dystonia treatment, website is fariastechnique.com.  Since then I have been making progress through "neuroplastic" training, involing non-invasive hand movement exercises and engaging the correct neural pathways on guitar.  I feel that I would be able to help other musicians with hand dystonia, and would be happy to speak with other musicans with FD or anyone in general about my experience.
