Massage for Musicians
A musical life truly is a gift, but it is not without its own set of challenges;
Muscle aches and injury from performing repetitive motions that can put us out of action if we don’t keep them in check
Long hours spent playing instruments that put us out of postural alignment
Long journeys, convenience foods and late nights on the road
The mental pressures of recording, auditions & live performance
Creative ruts and the difficulty of times when just don’t feel like picking up our instruments and lose an important creative & emotional outlet
Rampant self criticism and self evaluation
Dealing with difficult but talented colleagues
Massage can be a splendid way to ward against injury & counterbalance a demanding musical life.
I offer holistic massage sessions especially designed with your needs in mind to;
Prevent repetitive strain injury with rhythmic & dynamic massage, tailored to relieve the muscular tensions directly associated with playing your instrument
Soothe and re-center the nervous system with pre- and post-recording massage
Alleviate chronic stress which hampers creativity
Un-crumple yourself after long spats on the road
Bring along whatever music relaxes you to listen to during your massage.
As a bari sax player, these are challenges that I am deeply intimate with as when I am not giving massage, my passion in life is strapping this whopping hunk of metal to me and jumping around without abandon (sorry, knees).
It is therefore a delight to provide mental, emotional and physical support to bolster your wellbeing & keep you playing comfortably and joyfully.
