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.
