Welcome back to another Research and Development episode!
This week's study is essentially a "Day in the Life of an Injured Musician."
Why do musicians hide their injuries until they are completely debilitated?
Why is it sometimes difficult to find proper medical help for musicians?
Whose responsibility is it to get this research out to those who need it?
All of these questions are answered in today's episode, and I am so grateful to Drs Rickert, Ackermann and Barrett for publishing their 3 part study: Injury and the Orchestral Environment.
Just remember this: Your injury is not your fault, but your recovery is your responsibility.
This includes educators to do their part in educating themselves on these subjects to prevent further injury to themselves and their students!
Keep on keepin' on!
