Hello fellow Dystonians,

I have my first massage appointment after 2 years scheduled this evening! I’m so excited to hopefully get some relief from pain and stiffness, but I thought I’d check in to see if you all have any tips or insight on what has worked or hasn’t worked for you.

I’m going with a very gentle Swedish massage. Should I tell the masseuse to avoid my contracted SCM or massage extra gently? Has anyone found relief and/or other benefits when your contracted SCM has been massaged?

Hello all!
As the title states, I’m curious if anyone has met someone in person that also has dystonia as I have not. I didn’t even know this condition existed until 2 years ago when I started showing symptoms and did some research, essentially self diagnosing and getting confirmation from doctors.
