For functional dystonia in musicians, rehabilitation should be principally psychomotor, including psychotherapy based on analysis of the personality and a global physical education of the corporal scheme-it is a compartmental reeducation. It is of great importance to the musician that the original mechanism of the problem be understood and analyzed. For the therapist, the principal goal is to identify the multiple compensations that mask the real dysfunction. When the musician and the therapist agree on the real cause of the dystonia, it becomes evident that an anatomopathologic explanation using simple vocabulary is as efficacious in treatment as is the physical therapy. Beginning to rectify abnormal postures and reeducation of the impaired motions can begin with a range of techniques with specific exercises, stretching, and removable ortheses.
