Joaquin Farias (born 1973) is a Spanish-born Canadian neuroscientist , researcher, and writer specializing in movement therapy for dystonia .[1]
Early life and education [ edit ]
Farias was born in 1973 in Murcia , Spain.[2] psychosociology , and ergonomics and a doctorate in biomechanics .[3] [4] [5]
At the age of 21, while training as a professional musician, Farias developed dystonia , leading to involuntary curling of his fingers and impacting his ability to play the piano.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
After his recovery from dystonia, Farias developed a training program based on neuroplasticity principles.[11] [12] [13]
Farias has also worked as a coach for musicians, as well as with Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and dancers, focusing on the recovery from focal dystonia and other practice-related disorders.[14] [15] [16]
Previously, Farias served as a professor at the Music and Health Research Collaboratory of the University of Toronto.[17] [18] [19]
Farias is also the author of three books on dystonia: Limitless: Your Movements Can Heal Your Brain , Intertwined: A New Approach to Rehabilitating Dystonias , and Rebellion of the Body: Understanding Musicians' Focal Dystonia .[20] [21]
Research [ edit ]
Farias's work hypothesizes a link between dystonia and the insular cortex, which plays a role in controlling motion and emotion.[22] [22]
His method, now known as Farias Technique, involves using movement-based exercises to help retrain brain functions related to motor and sensory processing.[22] [23] [22]
