Rare knowledge in this book!By PierreIve been trying to heal a wrist tendonitis for over 5 years now; and I have seen various therapists.They cant really put a name on my problem; and propose surgery; but honestly said that they do not really believe it would help. So I looked for alternative solutions; whats on the net; etc... and came across this book.First; its a good read; an interesting one as being a self-taught guitar player; nobody ever told me to keep my back straight; correct the position of my shoulders; do this; do not overdo that... this was all in the book; and I started paying attention to my position while playing; both sitting and standing.With the advice in "The Athletic Musician"; I got better; and my injury tends to fade. Im not saying the book is THE cure; but it helped a lot. And for the story; I found another therapist; with other great advice.So I would recommend this to all practicing musicians; and I think every music teacher should have it on his/her cupboard...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Amazing bookBy CellistThis is one of the best books I know of for musicians who want to understand how to use their body effectively as the athletes they are. It covers the things that lead musicians to injury; including the social contexts which amplify the risks we face; and has many great diagrams and helpful information on finding resources to help get an injured musician back playing for as long as possible.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. GreatBy Elizabeth BrewsterThis book is highly reflective of its title. I used it for a class at school and it was VERY helpful.
