- Can certain neurological conditions make us forget how to move? In this talk Dr. Farias explains how is possible to awaken silent neural pathways in the brain, bringing lost movements, emotions and memories back to life.
Joaquin Farias is the director of the Neuroplastic Training Institute Toronto and researcher at the University of Toronto. Since 1996, He has been working on providing effective alternative and complementary care for patients affected by Dystonia and Parkinsons' Disease by pioneering new theories on neuroplasticity induced by movement therapy.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I did this myself by walking and dance, doctor's said I was HOPELESS. BUT I WASN'T. NOW I DANCE.
This man is literally like an angel to those of us with chronic brain disorders. We’ve been taught we have to just deal with the pain and basically have no life, until we don’t want to live anymore. But we are learning another way.
He is indeed an angel.
I suffer from this myself. I developed a tremor and rigidity in my right arm. By the time I was in high school, I could no longer write. I became very self conscious and ashamed. I started having panic attacks and was diagnosed as agoraphobic. I blamed myself for being a failure and my obsessive mind took my self loathing and shame and weaponized it against myself. To make a long story short, this problem, along with my mental illness took EVERYTHING from me. I'm 55, have no friends and struggle to make a living doing menial work. I'm recovering from cancer and unlike most people that have cancer I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that my cancer wasn't terminal. I couldn't wait to take my last breath. Now I must try to go on. This insight gives me some hope. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that, please remind yourself that it's Okay to feel what you feel as you have been through alot and you are only a human, I hope you get better soon and things work out for you.❤
@@roaaalsakka268 Thank you for your kind words.
I will pray for you 🙏
Dear Tubelw4533, this is such a courageous and vulnerable share. I, too, am a cancer survivor and can appreciate not feeling the 'acceptable' emotions related to the disease.
I pray that you have found hope and new sense of powerfulness that has helped you transform your life into what you wish it to be. 🥰
This man knows what he's talking about. I had to discover such 'healing movements' for cervical dystonia on my own for the past 15 years (swimming works for me, but I have to be persistent)....just stumbled on Federico Bitti and in turn Dr. Farias. God bless them and anyone who suffers a movement disorder.
This video is just half of Dr. Farias' TEDx. The theme of the TEDx Napoli was 'conversations'. Dr. Farias and his patient Federico Bitti, presented together, first Dr. Farias and then Mr. Bitti. The entire piece is deep and shows the point of view of both the therapist and the patient who shared together the therapy process. You can find the second part of this Tedx talk on youtube, it is called rewiring the Dystonia. rewiring the brain with movement and dance.
Thanks a lot
This is a true gift and blessing from God. I have learned so much about my condition that other health professionals have never been able to address. It is so interesting and makes people like me feel like we can become asymptomatic and move normally again little by little. I love this program that Dr. Farias has designed. It is so helpful!! A real gold mine!
I need information my daughter have this
I did this and got so much better, but movement so important
Thank you for this. As a professional dance movement psychotherapist I know movements can heal, but this explination gave me an AHA for why my job is working so good. Thanks again.
I haven’t taken his course, but my amazing Movement PT Professionals use the re-train the brain techniques, and it has helped me immensely. I’m so thankful ❤
Mind/body connection....how did mankind lose sight of this? Eat healthy, move more, work that body every day
So fascinating! I wish he had gone into more details.
There's so much I've learned about dystonia from him since I joined his program. Amazing! Google him.
@@christineczyryca5820i want to join Dr farias for dystonia.. Pls help me
that boy was able to play tennis, oh god, it is a miracle (to be specific this is science) wow
It's a matter of relearning just as you did as a baby.
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed that. Will search for more videos and materials on that.
Hi, I am from India. After a minor argument with my father in January 2011, my Father forced me to take psychiatric treatment and medicines until September this year (2022). During this long time, I suffered from blepharospasm for nearly 9 months in 2013, and oromandibular dystonia thrice, for nearly 10 months in 2015-16, for nearly a year in 2018-19, and for the third time since August 2020 until now. I mean I am still suffering. I want to join Dr Farias' program but don't have a credit card, nor am I acquainted with anybody who has a credit card.
We will be able to prescribe choreographies for each condition!!! Una frase poderosísima! Muchas gracias!!!!
what do you mean by that?
Please explain the process of neuroplasticity for writer's cramp
Can we find out what sort of movement for what condition?
For example what movement would he advise for brain injury to the frontal lobe?
Ask him. Go to his website. He has platforms for different types of dystonic conditions. He has educational lectures for patients as well as specified programs
How neuroplasticity helps in writer's cramp? means what is the process?
I have been through Dr Farias platform for a year, during this time, my dystonia gradually worsened rather than improving and I have now stopped doing it for last 4 months. So 20% dystonias has
spontaneous remission, which cant be attributed to neuroplasticity
Mine also got worse. idk if I pushed myself to hard or what. but I do believe in nueroplasticity and movement to heal. so I’m going to stick to dancing and the meditations/remapping
@@BB-uz8pn hey any improvement since you like yo stick to it?
Your case has taught me something new, that the condition of some patients worsens after joining Dr. Farias' program. Shocking...
Does it help functional neurological disorder?
awesome!!
Thanks
does anyone has generalized dystonia like me?
So true Dr Farias!!
Thank you
"we can ask your brain ..."
"WE CAN ASK YOUR BRAIN ..."
watched a video where the person said if we ask our subconscious mind something right before we go to bed the mind will present us with the answer, in time. ...
Please help my sister she is a mother of 4 ❤ 3 grand baby's please she is 2 weeks in a tbi
I think it's about time somebody seriously starts looking into the SandDunestepper for exactly what this extremely intelligent man is saying about movement Why not start out with all of the muscles that it takes to actually start walking correctly with neurofeedback to the brain
Because you have to start with the brain. Actually you don't start with walking correctly in his program for a few months. Other areas take priority and have to be addressed first.
This is interesting but what do we do? Did I miss something? I have cervical dystonia.
Yep, he said he can help, but didn't say how and where to look for info.. Scott, hi, I've been diagnosed with dystonia, but I don't know still what kind it is yet.. can I talk to you somehow?
go to the link I shared. His info is in there. You need to google spasmodictorticollis.org and dystonia.org things like that. See a neurologist who will recommend you to a movement disorder specialist. I recommend going to New mexico or do the long distance program with www.stclinic.com/ it is the closest thing to a cure although this Dr Farius is probably on to something. He is in Canada
Scott L local neurologist says "grow thicker skin, so you don't get stressed so easily" or "take mild sedatives" .. I'm in Russia
then go to the stclinic.com website. The cost for long distance program (by mail) is only $500. One thing you will learn is you have to fix yourself unless you want to get botox shots. You could also go to the actual clinic in New Mexico and of course you'll have travel costs and the cost of the clinic time as well. You need to use your computer and search and then you have to choose from what you find. There are no real solutions/cures. the STClinic is the best in my opinion
Scott L thanks , I hope you get better
Moshe Feldenkrais has been doing it for decades,you do not need any instructor or coach to do it,no age limit ,micro movemente re educates your CNS to beter function,every day somatic education will keep our brain young and your body movement fluid and painless.light and joiful .
I love you!

New connections become established as your practice the prescribed movements just as a baby learns to walk by practice. Same idea
How or when
How can I get in touch with you. I too, have dystonia in my right foot.
Google Dr. Farias' name and his site will be listed. He has a whole program just for your condition. I am so happy with it....and not that expensive.
From this video it isn’t clear, how exactly does it work

I actually misread the title for "How Bowelmovements can heal your brain." I'm disappointed now..
And I learned nothing,
I am in his program and I have learned A TON!!! I could probably give a lecture on it to a roomful of doctors about what's going on with me!

Go to his website. Google him. I am very happy with his therapy program . Everything makes sense now!
Six minutes of not really saying much!
