Only 2 things increase my hand spasticity and they weren’t mentioned: when I yawn and cold temperatures. If my hand clenches, a dip in warm water instantly opens it up. When I yawn, I keep my affected hand open with the opposite hand.
Perfect timing again! After 28 years a new tumor has arrived and increasing my arm and wrist spasticity right now. Waiting for scheduling for removal surgery. Praying everything goes smoothly but am preparing for whatever God allows. I’m soooo thankful for your videos to prepare me to start over with physical therapy after surgery! I feel sorry for the PT I get I’m very knowledgeable now!!!! Faith over Fear!!!
After stretching the most difficult exercise, I work in the morning with a relaxing melody in the background. The effects of stress make my movements significantly more difficult. Going up and down the stairs is noticeably easier for me if I have headphones with a soft tune and I get much less tired. Have a nice week.
This is the best video ever! It’s amazing how little spasticity is talked about by brain medical specialists ! You can be strong even with spasticity! I am, Professionals just say weakness.
Unfortunately my left arm is flaccid after almost 5yrs.after my accidents(car accident,heterotropic ossifification in my left knee, discharged from physical therapy 4yrs ago.

Cryoneurolysis. Paul Winston travels the world training MD's in this. He was in Winnipeg a month ago and was at the HSC. He did the nitrous oxide injections on my hamstrings with 8 young MD's present. Took 1 hour. Hamstrings not tight as guitar strings now. Made a huge difference. He does this for patients that cannot un-clench their fist and it works. As well as frozen shoulder.
