A member asked:

Can you lift weights and exercise if you have cervical dystonia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES, BUT: Cervical problems will require a custom designed exercise program to avoid injury, and weight lifting techniques will need alteration from the typical regimens. An experienced physical therapist working in rehab programs with an exercise background can work closely with you. A skilled personal trainer can advance your program. Be patient, exercise is key to recovery.
