Embouchure Dystonia: Mind Over Grey Matter - Dr. Peter Iltis, Professor of Kinesiology

Very nice presentaion. Thanks for sharing. I have recovered from FD of the embouchure. I found the use of sensory tricks (mind over gray matter), careful minimal use of an inexpensive medication for Parkinson's disease & dietary measures (low carb diet & supplementing with zinc & vitamin B6), and reducing copper exposure all vital components of my recovery.

What's the point of going into all this detail if it doesn't lead to a concrete solution? Interesting that the man who has been successfully re-habilitating musicians for 20 years or more, Joaquin Fabra, only gets acursory mention.

I too am a horn player with embouchure dystonia. I first started showing symptoms in 1997 and for years had no idea what was wrong. About 6 years ago I finally found out this was a condition and there was a name for it. I have for years tried to recover very unsuccessfully. I found the video about embouchure dysfunction on here by wilktone and I got almost immediate results after watching this and his other videos about embouchure type.

Thank you for putting this lecture online. There is a lot of mystery and speculation out there and this helps to dispel some of those myths and provide more factual information.

Always glad to see someone eduating others about forms of this crazy disorder.
