You are a performing artist and you use your body in repetitive ways. You practice and hold your instrument at a particular slant. You absolutely must have nimble fingers. You may have some stage fright but the high of performing is amazing (and the crash the next day plus the physical wear and tear are exhausting). Your body hurts. Worse, maybe, your hands hurt. Your back hurts when you assume your position or your hips ache when you move. It could be that you have repetitive stress injury. It could be that you are manifesting the echoes of old injuries and emotional wounds. Whatever it is, you can’t let it continue. No way. You need your body to create your magic and you absolutely need your mind to be sharp and creative. You may be adamantly opposed to acupuncture because you’ve heard a story or two about a famous musician who was injured. But physical therapy isn’t helping and you don’t know what to do.
Come see me! I love working on hands and I genuinely adore working on the hands of musicians. I can also do wonders for your back, hips, and feet. Given that I am a former literature professor, I am familiar with performance (teaching is a performance) and I am able to strategize ways of healing with you that include references to literature and art. As a graduate student in Italian literature (my first master’s degree), I taught language to a large number of opera students and on occasion went to watch their practices and helped them with subject comprehension. If you’re a singer, I also know how to help you now with ways to keep your rib cage healthy and your chest and abdomen strong. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, I’ve most recently worked with violinists, viola players, and a guitarist who also also plays the upright bass in a local band. I’ve worked with retired ballet dancers too. A performance artist has very particular needs and I have the experience to meet them.
