Choosing music over meds, one man’s quest to retrain his brain to overcome dystonia
Federico Bitti suffers from dystonia, a disease that affects a person’s ability to control their muscles. He is trying a new therapy involving neuroplasticity, and specific exercises to retrain the brain (which for Mr. Bitti, includes dance)
Music over Meds
After struggling with neuromuscular dystonia disease, Federico Bitti listens to music and his body is released from its restrictions. Music enters the brain and appears to bypass the signals of the disease, allowing him to move freely. Astounding.
