You are not just an athlete of small muscles – you use your entire body to play your instrument and just because you’re not running across a field or throwing a ball doesn’t make you any less of an athlete.
It’s time we were treated as such and received the same care as athletes.
If you’re ready to learn how to avoid injury in yourself and others and be part of the solution, read on!
➡ You play for decades whereas they play for maybe a few years.
You play for hours a day sometimes everyday, whereas they play for a few days.
➡ Is it any wonder we get INJURED? And yet there is a stigma surrounding talking about it. I talked to a bass player yesterday who said that people look at him funny when he talks about his injury like somehow he's "BROKEN".
The only way this culture around musicians injuries stops is by us doing something about it.
