Episode 2: Why Do Injuries Happen?

Abby Halpin, physical therapist and coach for musicians and artists, talks about why injuries happen and what to do when they do. She also shares why she greets the day like she greet you!

Main points:
1. Pain does not equal tissue damage
2. Injuries happen when the load on your body outweighs the resilience you've built up.
3. Don't give yourself training whiplash.
4. Rest is not always (often isn't) the answer.
5. You deserve care from a PT who knows what you need as a musician.
6. Don't take "stop playing" as an answer.
7. Let me know what you need.

Abby is the owner of Forte Performance & Physical Therapy, where she works with musicians, artists, and performers to help them feel and sound their best.
