MUSICIANS PHYSIO
Music is Physical.
Only rarely is rest our first option.
I can help you work out why you have pain, how to play on while fixing it and how to keep pain away.
Through my consulting role with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (11 years) and helping musicians of all ages and abilities, I have a strong working knowledge of musicians’ playing related injuries, the physical stresses involved and practical solutions to reduce pain, play with freedom and even improve performance.
I was twice Vice-President of the Australian Society of Performing Arts Healthcare – ASPAH and a current member of PAMA, ensuring both my clinical knowledge is up-to-date and my international network of like-minded health professionals allows me to collaborate when needed for your care.
When needed I am happy to discuss your situation with your teachers to ensure all parties are working together.
I can help you with:
Recurring pain in neck, shoulders, elbow, forearms, wrists, hands, mid & lower back
Loss of finger speed, power and dexterity
Playing tension - the major cause of pain
Complete rehabilitation and return to stage
Postural awareness and endurance
General & instrument specific conditioning
