Focal Dystonia, a Body Image Problem?

When we approach the uncomfortable sensation and even the scary feeling that a musician with focal dystonia experiences when he or she is using specific part of the body as a body’s defensive reaction to not knowing and not owning parts of the body, and start re-constructing a body image that it might be lacking to make sense of what is going on, the excessive tension or the un-movement starts freeing up.
