Andrée
Martin, flute professor at Columbus State University, writes a blog called
Observing Dystonia and documents her FTSHD (Focal Task-Specific Hand Dystonia)
retraining. Recently Andree posted a blog I found interesting on progress
through the use of dowels, which I posted below. She is actually trained in
Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais (http://summerflute.org/andreemartin/)
which both dwell in body-mapping techniques.
This
was such a great read, and I'm very happy to see a professional musician
sharing their journey through recovery!!! It gives many hope and comfort
knowing they are not alone throughout their own obstacles in overcoming this
disorder. Thank you Andree!
