  1. This is the same phenomenon as mirror therapy, no? Doing mirror therapy, I FEEL my left hand moving - proprioception AND the sense of touch have returned DURING therapy, but how many reps will it take to have it be true all the time.? I'm at about 50k reps.

    1. I'm sure it's the same as mirror therapy but our doctors have no clue how to help us. As Peter Levine says, the specific number is 'lots'.
