Involuntary writhing or twisting movements
Involuntary writhing or twisting movements (athetosis) are slow, sinuous movements of the hands, fingers, or limbs that you cannot control. They often point to conditions affecting the brain's movement centres. Ayurvedic therapies aim to calm the nervous system and improve motor control.
