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.
"Faculty Appointments"
- Sometimes you need more than the basics, you need ongoing help. Whether you have a weekend or a week long band or instrumental camp or need someone as a faculty resource on your staff for the university, we can help in a variety of ways.
ADD ON: PERSONAL TRAINING
- Individual personal training sessions may be added to any lecture or workshop. Training session will be a one-on-one session.
