Musicians' Injuries

Here's an interesting, scary story on the physical hazards of playing an instrument (and also of dancing), plus some links.

Seattle Times http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2001932222_artsmedicine19m.html
Performing Arts Medicine Association http://www.artsmed.org/
International Foundation for Performing Arts Medicine http://www.ifpam.org/
International Association for Dance Medicine and Science http://www.iadms.org/
Clinic for Performing Artists http://www.vmmc.org/dbPhysicalMed/sec1673.htm
Quodlibet http://quodlibet.com/

Mark - Any chance of adding these to the Musicians' Health Links at http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Resources/OnlineResources.html ?

Best regards.

Funny thing. My boyfriend is a music major (previously failed out comp sci), and he actually hates majoring in music! He feels like he can't get a job in the music world and that it's a waste of time, cuz there are so many other ppl better than him (he's a percussionist). But he is almost finished his pre-med requirements, and he can go off to med school. He is actually considering going into performing arts medicine!
