Here’s me, I sing and play trumpet with Hidden Agenda, a funk and disco band in Berkshire.
I’ve played in a broad range of ensembles over the years and have worked with many musicians. One thing we have in common is a tendency to play in fixed positions. We focus very well on the music and the arrangement, our breathing and posture, but all too often, we lock our bodies to help us last the distance.
As a result we often get pulled muscles, reduced flexibility, pain and stress in specific areas of the body.
WHY GET A MASSAGE?
Here at Indigo Spring, we specialise in massage for musicians, working on the specific areas you need to build muscles for your chosen instrument.
Drummers often come to me with enlarged trapezius muscles and tension in their wrists and arms.
Saxophonists will often play with a slight twist which affects shoulders and spine.
And singers will often struggle with back problems due to poor posture or unhelpful costumes.
Massage can help you alleviate pain, increase mobility and reduce stress.
View massage not as a luxury indulgence, but as a core stage in maintaining your health and wellbeing.
