“I’d been struggling with focal dystonia for a very long time before I met Ruth Chiles. Her unique approach was exactly what I needed. Yes! There is hope for us all.”

Victor WootenFive-Time Grammy Award Winner

“Every word of Ruth’s book hit home, as if it was meant for me. And if it’s in your sights, I bet it’s meant for you too. Having worked directly with Ruth in weekly Zoom sessions, I can verify, unsurprisingly, that she’s done an exceptional job getting her process down on the page. After twenty years of trying just about everything, I finally understand exactly how my focal dystonia came about and exactly how to extinguish it. I am forever grateful.

“I can pretty much define my personal growth in two parts: before and after I encountered Ruth Chiles and her work. I came to her with two separate dystonic issues: one related to writing and another to playing banjo. She helped me kick the first, and we have the latter up against the ropes. But it’s more than that. Along the way, she’s turned me into a better human, which is far more important.”

“If you have focal dystonia and have come to this book looking for help, look no further—you’ve come to the right place. I’ve personally suffered from focal dystonia for over 15 years, and Ruth showed me how to find my playing and myself in record time. I’ve sought out help many times before from other focal dystonia gurus—that search stopped the moment I found Ruth. I have absolutely no doubt that she can help any focal dystonia sufferer. Ruth, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

Gonçalo de Oliveira CrespoGuitarist and Music School Owner

“Ruth Chiles’s deep understanding of focal dystonia and the recovery techniques that she offers have been nothing short of miraculous for me. As an artist and musician, I have gone from the terror and despair and disability of focal dystonia in my right hand to full recovery of my hand and my life.”

Audrey BellArtist and Guitarist

“I went from not being able to play a single note to, in about two months, being able to play for more than one hour on my horn and feeling great about it and finding pleasure in playing.”

Alain TessierMusician, French Horn Player

“I have resolved so much trauma causing inability to heal and even function healthily when it came to playing the violin. Because of Ruth, I am now in a neutral state, allowing me to play without physical strain.”

Joe BacaViolinist with Mariachi Cobre, Composer, Educator

“Ruth’s passion, compassion and unique perspective of having dealt with focal dystonia herself, gives her the ability to drill down to the root of dystonic symptoms. The exercises she has provided have helped me down the path to recovery from focal dystonia. It has been my absolute pleasure to have worked with her as a personal client.”

Paul ToutantTrombonist and Educator

“This book gives a succinct description of Focal Dystonia, it’s root causes and it’s troubling manifestations in the body. Not only that, Ruth offers technical evidence-based exercises to help ease symptoms and return the system to homeostasis – a hugely valuable contribution”
