How to Rehabilitate After Botox for High Dystonia

Hypertonia can rest and recover on the same day after Botox, followed by normal rehabilitation exercises.
Patients with hypertonia who have undergone the treatment method of Botox injection can rest and recover on the same day after the injection. Some patients may experience flu-like symptoms, so strenuous exercise, exertion and exposure to cold are not recommended.
Subsequently, rehabilitation training can be carried out normally, and attention should be paid to increasing soft tissue pulling during training, which will help the Botox diffuse within the muscle fibers from the injection point and take effect quickly. In addition, postural therapy, functional active movements, strengthening exercises, muscle strength and endurance training can be performed.
When doing rehabilitation training to reduce muscle tension, especially when pulling the joints, it is important to do it slowly and continuously, avoiding rapid and violent pulling.
It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions strictly for rehabilitation, so as not to cause adverse consequences due to improper self-operation.
