Focal Hand Dystonia is a complex and difficult condition to treat. Many treatment techniques have been trialled with musicians who suffer from this condition. Current treatments include: oral medications, Botulinum toxin (BTX) injections, surgery and rehabilitative therapies. The medical-based treatments have been discussed in a prior paper, and thus rehabilitative therapy treatment options and the related clinical implications are the focus of this paper. These include: sensory re-education, sensory motor retuning, rest, splintage and limb immobilisation. Future research areas relating to focal hand dystonia and the musician are highlighted.
