Instrumentalist Musicians Physiotherapy
Performance-focused treatment for playing-related injuries
Whilst sporting athletes may be prone to developing injuries from their sport, musicians are similarly at risk of developing playing-related injuries. As such, musicians require specific strength and conditioning to ensure peak performance.
Musicians can be prone to a range of playing-related injuries, some of the most common include: overuse syndrome, compression neuropathy, hypermobility syndrome, and musician’s dystonia.
Common treatment strategies include
- The establishment of good posture by strengthening and stretching
- Modifying practice for more efficiency with less physical loading
- Splinting for support and to assist motor re-learning
- Changing the interface between the musician’s body and their musical instruments to change the physical loading of playing
