Description: This presentation will review the unique risk factors facing musicians and common causes of upper extremity musculoskeletal injury. We will review assessment methods to correctly identify faulty movement patterns and poor practice habits. We will demonstrate how to use movement and functional analysis to identify the source of the problem and develop customized recommendations for a range of instruments and conditions. We will discuss methods to optimize musculoskeletal health and improve performance. We will address ergonomic requirements specific to the instrument and learn how to select the correct exercises and rehabilitation strategies to prevent and manage common injuries in musicians and guide safe return to play. Participants will learn how to develop a customized musician-centered program based on scientific principles and current evidence of injury prevention and management.
