![]() Manual therapy approaches are used as necessary as a more passive adjunct to assist in reducing pain and restoring function of injured regions. Therapy needs to take an active approach in addressing the relevant risk factors and modifying these when able, beginning with assessing and retraining postural faults, including sitting and standing postures, identifying and correcting biomechanical flaws, and retraining motor control strategies (using proprioceptive and sensorimotor retraining, muscle relaxation and feedback). The first step in the musician's rehabilitation include addressing common risk factors and organizing appropriate intervention strategies, as well as educating the performer to understand the impact of common risk factors and to allow more effective therapeutic interventions. This chapter covers the main physical therapeutic approaches used in the treatment of musicians' injuries. Body Mapping techniques may be readily integrated with vocal pedagogy to assist in evaluating the effectiveness of performance skills and for teaching singers to perform with ease.Ībstract: Therapeutic intervention plays an important role in the rehabilitation of the injured musician. The positive impact of BMG is illustrated through research case studies of college-level music students whose experiences revealed enhanced ability for and personal confidence with musical expression and heightened development of self-awareness. Beginning with accurate mind-body awareness, this chapter explains specific information clarifying a range of mapping errors and movement misunderstandings that plague singers and contribute to technical problems, musical frustrations, and music performance related injuries. This chapter presents vital information about the importance of movement for singers at every stage of their development. Quality of movement is critical for singers because it underlies all forms of musical communication and expression. In addition to cultivating accurate and adequate body maps, the integration of kinesthesia into sensory awareness and the development of inclusive awareness provide musicians with the skills for embodied performing. A self-inquiry method, the underlying premise of Body Mapping is the importance of understanding the neurophysiological connections in the human body that lead to freedom of movement. It is one of the most recent disciplines to enter the somatic field and the only one currently with a primary focus on the movement needs of musicians. Body Mapping is a somatic (mind-body) education technique designed to teach musicians skills of self-evaluation and change for performing with sensory-motor integrity. ![]()
