Hi all!

_The Athletic Musician: A guide to playing without pain._
Paull, Barbara and Harrison, Christine. The Scarecrow Press, Inc. Lanham,
Md., & London: 1997. ISBN 0-8108-3356-5

This book is designed to teach musicians how to prevent and manage
injuries, presented in a unique format that combines sound medical protocol
with a musician's point of view. Barbara Paull (MCSP, MCPA) is an
orthopedic physiotherapist, and Christine Harrison is a freelance violinist
and teacher.

The book takes a simple but thorough approach to teach the mechanics of the
critical joints for musicians, including such details as how to pick up an
instrument case. Christine describes her career-stopping injury and
explains the techniques Barbara used to resolve the problems.

I found the material fascinating, and where the material discussed my own
experiences it confirmed my own findings.

Although the price is $45 Canadian, I highly recommend this rather
expensive paperback! The fact that it is still in print suggests that
others agree with me! :-)


Cheers... Dallas
