Ángel Jesús López Castaño

I felt a small blockage in my right thumb. I didn't pay much attention to it. I considered it a lack of technique, so I spent more time practicing. Not only did it not work, it got worse.

The imprecision in movement arrived and soon I could no longer play the string I was supposed to play. Then came the deformity of movement, preventing me from doing my passion.
I knew testimonies from guitarist friends who had had dystonia and suddenly I knew. I didn't hesitate for a moment to make an appointment at the Institute, since they were treated there and recovered.
Dr. Jaume Rosset confirmed the diagnosis and, subsequently, I started working on the treatment with Silvia Fàbregas.

Thanks to the Institute, its great professionals and their clarity, wisdom and humane treatment, at such a difficult time for a musician, I have not only fully recovered but also improved my motor skills. In addition, I have learned a new study system that allows me to improve my performance.

However, a piece of advice for those who are starting on this path: forget everything you think you know and follow the instructions given to the letter, without deviating in the slightest, otherwise healing is impossible. The faith of being working on dystonia with your great team must guide you, even in your weakest moments.
