    Blepharospasm and hemifacial spasms

    Blepharospasm and hemifacial spasms involve involuntary contractions of the muscles around the eye or one side of the face. Their primary causes are neurological, and they require specialist medical management. However, cervical spine tension — particularly in the upper neck — can be a contributing or aggravating factor. Virginia works as a complementary support alongside your specialist care, addressing cervical tension that may be influencing your symptoms.

    How ASMI works

    What you might notice

    • Uncontrollable blinking or eyelid closure
    • Involuntary twitching or contractions on one side of the face
    • Symptoms that worsen under stress or fatigue
    • Neck tension or stiffness alongside facial symptoms
    • Discomfort or self-consciousness in public situations

    How Virginia can help

    • Addresses upper cervical spine tension that may aggravate facial spasm patterns
    • Very gentle approach calibrated to avoid triggering or worsening spasms
    • Supports overall nervous system calming through gentle mobilisation
    • Works alongside neurologist-led treatment, not as a replacement
    • A calm, low-stimulation environment appropriate for sensitive nervous systems

    Frequently asked questions

    Can spinal therapy cure blepharospasm or hemifacial spasms?
    No. These conditions have a primary neurological basis and require specialist neurological care (which may include Botox injections or other interventions). Virginia can offer supportive care that may reduce the cervical contribution to your symptoms, but she will not promise outcomes she cannot deliver.
    Should I have spinal therapy alongside Botox treatment?
    This is something to discuss with your neurologist. In general, gentle spinal therapy is compatible with Botox, but Virginia will want to know your treatment schedule and will plan sessions accordingly.
    What does Virginia's assessment involve for this condition?
    Virginia will take a full history of your spasms, assess your cervical spine mobility and tension, and discuss whether she thinks she can offer meaningful support. She will be clear about what her work can and cannot offer for your condition.
