At MusicStrong Membership, we’re bridging the gap between traditional and holistic medicine, offering prehab and rehab services tailored to musicians’ unique needs. Up to 93% of musicians will experience pain or injury at some point in their career—we believe you deserve the same level of care as athletes.
What’s Included:
Live Classes: In our live classes and guest residencies, an expert in the musician health and wellness field will be in residence every month. This includes live classes, Discord offerings, and more.
On-Demand: A curated selection of videos and workouts designed to help you fix injury, prevent injury, build strength, and look good.
Courses: A comprehensive library of nutrition and diet plans, exclusive courses (like our 10-week habit-changing course), and 24/7 access to our private Discord channel.
Did you know up to 90% of musicians will experience playing related pain or injury? If not you, then someone you know, and if not now, then more than likely later!
We suffer in silence, thinking that:
- Pain is just part of it
- If I tell anyone I won’t get hired
- If I rest it will get better or go away
- The next step is surgery
- I just have to play until I can’t anymore and then I’ll get a J-O-B
These are NOT true!
There is such a stigma around musician’s injuries and playing related pain, but the reality is it effects most of us and it’s time for us to change the narrative around it by TALKING about it.
There are a LOT of things you can do if you have pain, but ignoring it won’t fix it. And you can’t just stretch, either!
If you only stretch what’s tight, and never strengthen what’s weak (or needs more endurance!) the cycle of pain and disfunction will continue.
This is where I come in.
Musician-specific personal training takes into account your instrument, lifestyle and the unique muscle imbalances you have when designing a fitness program for you.

PRESENTATIONS
“Workouts for Musicians”
- One Hour Workshop - Why should musicians be concerned with exercise or strength training? Beyond the obvious, there are some scary statistics and the most recent research shows up to 93% of musicians can become injured as a direct result of playing their instruments. This basic lecture will cover the statistics and the basics of what you can do prevent injury in yourself and your students. Students of this workshop will have the option to participate in stretches, activation exercises and movement drills.
- If you are a school looking to fulfill your NASM accredidation requirements, this workshop fulfills that requirement.
"Becoming Music Strong"
- Two Hour Workshop/Lecture - This comprehensive workshop will go beyond the basics. After covering the scary statistics of why musicians especially need strength training, we will cover the essentials of musician's exercise, finishing with going through an entire workout from start to finish.
