Have you experienced pain or performance-related injuries while playing your instrument, or are you interested in learning ways to prevent injury?

Several studies demonstrate that the majority of instrumental musicians will experience some form of performance-related pain or injury throughout their careers. I am one of these musicians who experienced a severe injury that eventually led me to taking an extended break from playing the flute. With proper medical care, consistent work with somatic methods like Body Mapping and Alexander Technique, and support from mental health professionals, I have been able to make a full recovery from my injury and now experience little to no pain while playing. I am able to enjoy playing much more and have learned how to be more musically expressive and feel more embodied in my playing through Body Mapping!

If this sounds familiar, or if you would like to learn more about Body Mapping, I would love to work with you! Please reach out to me at fleo@bodymap.org to schedule a private lesson or request a workshop, masterclass, or course to be presented at your organization or university, or click on the button below to fill out an interest form.
