5.0 out of 5 stars An indispensible book for every musician, 16 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Every musician who wants to avoid a playing injury or is recovering from such an injury should own this book. This is not a read-once book but a book to use and refer to until one has it memorized. It gives easy-to-follow instructions for safe warming up, exercises and stretches to do at home and even some for doing on stage, ways to avoid injury and means to stay healthy when one has recovered. The psycological and social aspects which confront injured musicians are sensitively dealt with in "The Athletic Musician". The title already tells us that this is a relevant approach to treating the subject of musician's health. Read it, it could save your career!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 8 April 2005
By Alec B (Chester, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
For me, this book was excellent - I could almost say life-changing. I had had neck pains for years, I had sought professional advice and read other books, but this book has the most clear explanation of the relevant anatomy and advice for curing the problem. Within a few weeks my problem had improved vastly.

For me, this is the best book of its kind: it is particularly strong for neck, back and shoulder problems. It also covers other injuries pretty well. I have also read the Richard Norris book 'Musician's Survival Manual'(not bad - more technical / less generally informative) and the Nichola Culf book 'Musicians' Injuries' (ok, more geared to avoidance of problems, particularly arm/hand problems for string players)
