Unstoppable Strides: Navigating movement disorders, movement longevity and neuroplastic change

health, fitness, mental, sports · EN-US

Join Julie for information, exploration, stories of hope and real talk related to running with dystonia, neuro plasticity and establishing better movement patterns at any age. Runner’s dystonia is a type of repetitive exercise dystonia that is brought on by running. Some are affected by walking and cycling as well. Dystonias are a class of movement disorders marked by involuntary muscle contractions in one or more parts of the body, depending on the type of dystonia. Runner’s dystonia is considered task-specific, which means that it only occurs when doing a repetitive motion—in this case, the repetitive nature of the running gait cycle.
