Most of us experience this havoc and its very cumbersome and disturbing. While searching on the topic I came across this article and found it worth sharing.

Neuromuscular taping (NMT) is a physical therapy technique where an elastic drug free tape is applied without tension in order to lift the skin from the underlying fascia and soft tissue, to allow decompression.

Although the article is of 2020, its still worth reading

Fascinating and thanks for finding this. That's a lot of tape but well worth it considering how severe her dystonia was. Here's a source for KT Tape:

What a fabulous article. Makes me want to check out NMT right now, as I already have non PD chronic pain that limits exercise. Thank you for sharing!
