Playing (Less) Hurt

Book is new but book cover is not in perfect condition

An Injury Prevention Guide for Musicians
Publisher: Hal Leonard

While musicians have endless resources for learning the basics of their instruments and the theory of music, few books have explored the other complexities that musicians face.
The demands of solitary practice, hectic rehearsal schedules, challenging repertoire, performance pressures, awkward postures, and other physical strains have left a trail of injured, hearing-impaired, and frustrated musicians.

"Playing Less Hurt" explain how to avoid and alleviate injury. Impressively researched, the book is invaluable not only to musicians, but also to the coaches and medical professionals who work with them.

Everyone from dentists to orthopedists, audiologists to neurologists, massage therapists and trainers will benefit from Janet Horvath's account of the physiology and psyche of a practicing musician.
Writing with knowledge, Horvath has created an essential resource for all musicians who want to play better and feel better.
