Hi, Alan and me will record a new episode of our Piano Technique podcast soon and I would like to invite you to post your questions for Alan/me here. Thanks! Jovan

I have focal dystonia. I wonder if Alan would have any suggestions for exercises that could be done as treatment. I've found his "grasping" exercise with all the fingers, standing and then rolling over to have considerably decreased the dystonia.

I am glad to hear the grasping and rolling exercises are helping. There are more exercises, and I devote an entire chapter to this in my new book, due to be published a few months from now. I can't really reproduce the entire chapter in a podcast but will try to give some pointers. AFF

That was a great podcast. I've been away for awhile and have continued the exercises. I have sent Mr. Fraser a private email if he would be willling to do so some 1 on 1 skype sessions as I would like to further discuss focal dystonia and the grasping and curving exercises so I can hopefully completely cure my symptoms.
