Treating Musicians as Athletes is a innovative guide for therapists, clinicians, and musicians seeking a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to injury prevention and recovery. Drawing powerful parallels between athletes and musicians, this book reframes performance-related injuries through a biomechanical, functional, and holistic lens.
Inside, you’ll find practical strategies to treat common overuse injuries like tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome using low-tech biofeedback, taping methods, manual therapy, and athlete-style conditioning. The book also offers tools for emotional resilience, stress management, nutrition, and self-correction techniques to improve performance and reduce injury risk.
Highlights include:
- Injury prevention and recovery protocols applicable to both musicians and non-musicians
- Step-by-step guidance with images and video links for exercises, taping techniques, and splint fabrication.
- Curated Amazon playlists featuring adaptive tools and exercise devices for individuals and musicians living with arthritis and hypermobility
Whether you’re a hand therapist, performing arts specialist, or a musician, this essential resource bridges science and artistry to help individuals return to the stage—or daily life—stronger, healthier, and more empowered.
