I wish you could share this story with every person who has spasticity. As a rehabilitation physician who helps care for patients with various types of brain and spinal cord injury and disease, I have often used stretching and sometimes medication to address spasticity, but too often we don’t take advantage of the mind-body connection. Your experience shows another way one’s mind can powerfully enhance or perhaps in some cases replace other approaches.
Where can I learn more about integrative manual therapy?
Finally, thank you for sharing your beautifully written post. You have inspired me (without inducing guilt) to try to pull both corners of my mouth back toward my ears inspiring post more often — and maybe to return to my prior (fledgling) yoga practice.
