Summary: In November 2020, I found out that I was coming down with Parkinson’s. By mid December I had lost about 60% of my playing ability (based on my own subjective estimate). I immediately engaged my music therapy skills, booked myself in for Acupuncture treatment, adjusted my diet and added supplements.
After less than three months I regained about 40% of my abilities to play, feeling I have about 80% back.
The details, how it went and what I did is documented in this blog.
I suggest to new visitors who wish to get a good idea to scroll down to the first entry.
Important!
While sound can heal, it can also injure. The same goes for music. Documenting my self-therapy does not mean that it will work for everyone. I share my experience to encourage or maybe even inspire other musicians/therapists in similar situations to find a way to help themselves or others. One rule however, applies to everyone: Instruments must be well tuned and produce good sound quality. More on this in an upcoming post.
I welcome constructive questions and critical questions.
