Regain Control. Restore Confidence. Reclaim Your Life.
Specialized physical therapy for individuals living with Dystonia, that helps you take control of your symptoms and get back to doing what you love.
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions. These movements can affect a single area, such as the neck, face, or hand, or multiple regions of the body.
The severity and symptoms of dystonia can vary widely from person to person. Some people may experience mild discomfort, while others may have significant challenges with movement, coordination, or daily activities.
Physical therapy is a key part of symptom management. At NeuPath Physical Therapy, we provide specialized treatment approaches to help individuals with dystonia improve function, reduce discomfort, and regain confidence in their movement.
Common Symptoms of Dystonia Include:
Involuntary muscle contractions that cause repetitive movements or twisting
Abnormal or awkward postures (such as turning of the neck, curling of the hand, or arching of the back)
Tremors or shaking in the affected body part
Muscle tightness or cramping that may come and go
Sensory changes causing different sensations or feeling off balance
Jerky or uncoordinated movements
Pain or discomfort in the affected area
Difficulty with tasks like writing, walking, or speaking (depending on muscles involved)
