In order to help musicians prevent and manage injuries, Paull (British-trained registered physiotherapist) and Harrison (violinist and teacher) suggest that musicians regard themselves as elite musical athletes. Fifteen chapters combine sound medical protocol with a musician's point of view on such topics as anatomy, ergonomics, and exercise routines with an emphasis upon stretching and postural corrections. Includes drawings and photographs. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
