[Functional dystonia in musicians: fundamental principles of the rehabilitation]

The basic principles of rehabilitation of dystonia in musicians are designed to restore overall functional movement, but must also take into account the musician's often obsessive and anxious metal state. Rehabilitation is based on fundamental postural physical education and movement physiology. It must also develop a language to explain the dysfunction and to make it acceptable to the patient. The exercises themselves become the basis for a new behaviour. More than just a rehabilitation technique, we have tried to develop a personalized "self-correction" which could be the basis for real prevention.
