Abby Halpin, physical therapist and coach, who wishes she was a music teacher, chats about all the things she wishes musicians and singers knew about their bodies and movement.
Today she talks about the concept of hyperinflation and how it affect musicians' access to air.
It can contribute to the following complaints:
1. You can’t last as long through a phrase or need more catch breaths than you used to.
2. You can’t get enough air in.
3. You have a lot of shoulder and neck tension that can not change no matter how much you’ve stretched.
4. Your back is stiff if you stand for too long.
5. You have a general feeling like making music feels harder than it used to… you miss the sense of ease you might have had in the past.
6. You feel exhausted and your body aches on the ride home.
7. You have been told you look stiff or keep hearing people around them telling you to relax.
