About this Course
This specialized course offers comprehensive insights into lifestyle, posture, and injury prevention for six main categories of professional musicians: vocalists, piano and keyboard players, drummers and percussionists, guitarists, string musicians, and horn players. Most music-related injuries stem from a combination of overuse, poor body mechanics, and lack of self-care. As a massage therapist, you have the unique opportunity to help musicians overcome these challenges by: 🎵 Reducing Pain & Promoting Recovery: Alleviate pain and facilitate healing in muscles, tendons, and joints through targeted massage techniques. 🎵 Educating on Healthy Posture: Guide musicians on optimal body mechanics and healthy postures tailored to their specific instruments to prevent injury. 🎵 Teaching Instrument-Specific Self-Care: Equip musician clients with stretches and exercises tailored to their instrument, enhancing their resilience and performance. 🎵 Encouraging Comprehensive Self-Care: Promote an ongoing self-care routine including massage, meditation, exercise, and relaxation techniques to prevent injuries and support long-term career sustainability. This course will equip you with the knowledge and tools to effectively support musicians and enhance the impact of your massage sessions, helping these artists prolong their careers and optimize their performance. Included: Course Workbook and high-resolution hands-on massage technique videos. This course is worth 5 CEUs for massage therapists (NCBTMB and NYS approved).
