Muskuloskelettale Therapie bei Musikerinnen und Musikern

Obwohl sich die Anforderungen im Sport und dem Musizieren ähneln, ist die Musikerphysiotherapie längst nicht so entwickelt wie die Sportphysiotherapie. Dabei lassen sich die sogenannten „Performance-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders“ erfolgreich mit Manueller Therapie oder Physiotherapie, z. B. mit Hilfe einer Bewegungsanalyse, therapieren. Prof. Dr. med. Christoff Zalpour gibt einen Überblick über das Feld der Musikerphysiotherapie, deren Potenzial noch lange nicht vollends erschlossen ist.
