• Forcing breaths for woodwind instruments can cause jaw and neck pain
• Orchestra or band groups,
• Music composers and synthesizers looking down or staring at monitors,
• Inspections or detailed tasks requiring eye focusing, squinting, bending, twisting, stepping up/down, climbing and bending motions.
• Problems worsen with pounding or drumming

Many diagnoses can be treated, we cannot list all, but some are below:
Adhesive capsulitis, Bursitis, Bunions, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Cervical disc protrusion, Degenerative joint disease, Headaches, trigger point headaches, stress induced migraines, Low back pain, Lumbar disc herniation, Plantar fasciitis, Shoulder bursitis, shoulder impingement, Sciatica, Shin splints, Tennis elbow, Tarsal tunnel syndrome, Thoracic outlet syndrome.
The earlier you start PT treatment and specific fitness training program, the better you learn to take care of yourself, and the higher chance that you'll have to prevent or recover from injury.
Many of us put off problems because we are so busy in our lives. With our therapy training staff, you not only get the right treatment, you also learn the causes of problems so that you can better take care of yourself.
