Juan José is 56 and works as a carpenter in interior design. He has lived with essential tremor since childhood, but from the age of 40, it became more challenging.
Still, he has continued to do what he loves most – working with his hands.

We'll celebrate our next tremor hero soon.

Our next tremor hero is Micael from Sweden, who has lived with essential tremor for most of his adult life. He enjoys restoring old cars, spending time with his dogs, and sharing everyday moments with his wife in their countryside home.
His energy and positivity shine through in everything he does.

Stay tuned for our next tremor hero.

We are proud to present Lord Julian Fellowes as our next hero this essential tremor awareness month. The Oscar-winning writer has lived with essential tremor for much of his life but has never let it stand in the way of his storytelling or his way of life.

Stay with us this month as we shine a light on more of our tremor heroes and their incredible strength and resilience.

This month is Essential Tremor Awareness month and today we are shining light on Mary, UK, living with essential tremor for over 50 years. Once a passionate editor who is now rediscovering the joys she’s always loved - spending her days reading, gardening, and embracing a life that inspires her.

Join us throughout the month as we celebrate more incredible individuals like Mary and the strength they show as tremor heroes.

We’re honoring those who live with tremor every single day – mothers, fathers, grandparents, writers, bakers, and master craftsmen. This month, we’re shining a light on their remarkable stories and lives ✨

Last week, we were delighted to host the DACH FUS Forum in Frankfurt am Main.

Over two engaging days, the programme focused on the use of MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) in the treatment of movement disorders and neuropathic pain, bringing together participants from across the DACH region to learn, exchange insights, and discuss the future of this evolving field.

A special thank you to our Organizing Committee, Prof. Dr. Volker A. Coenen (University Hospital Freiburg) and Prof. em. Dr. Dr. h. c. Günther Deuschl (University Hospital Kiel), for their valuable contributions to the event. 🧠

“Focused ultrasound is more than a technology; It’s a vision of care shaped by dedication, collaboration and a society committed to better outcomes. By coming together and sharing knowledge, we accelerate discovery - and expand what is possible for patients.”

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the DACH FUS Forum such a meaningful event. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!

The countdown is on to the INSIGHTEC DACH FUS Forum.

On 6–7 March in Frankfurt am Main, this two-day German-language event will bring together users and those interested in MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) to explore its role in the treatment of movement disorders and neuropathic pain. 🧠

Over two days, participants will have the opportunity to share knowledge, exchange perspectives, and explore the latest developments in MRgFUS alongside experts and speakers from across the DACH region.

We look forward to welcoming the community to Frankfurt! Stay tuned for more updates from the DACH FUS Forum. 💙

For many who have lived for years with (ET), the transformation can be wonderfully startling!

The ability to hold a teacup steadily or write is taken for granted until it is lost.
