| Summary: | "Muscle Management for Musicians presents comprehensive and valuable information for both scientists and artists, aiming to fill the gap between musicians and the therapists who treat them. This book describes and illustrates the basic anatomy of more than 70 muscles and clarifies their use in playing specific musical instruments. Corrective massage points, holding points, and appropriate nutrition are all identified, as are the many postural and emotional causes of the muscular problems musicians encounter. Throughout the text, Elizabeth Andrews references the widely accepted Alexander Technique of muscle management. Touring musicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists will find this a valuable resource for understanding the unique challenges faced by serious musicians."--BOOK JACKET. |
