Abstract
The physical demands of most performing artists match demands experienced by elite athletes. Performing artist medicine is a growing field of specialization that draws upon the established practices in sport medicine. While training or working professionally, performers are at high risk for injury, whether from chronic repetitive overuse or from acute traumatic incidents. Unfortunately, many performers are reticent to seek treatment, fearing they will be forced to take time off and/or lose employment opportunities. Most musculoskeletal injuries are caused by intrinsic (structural and functional characteristics of the performers anatomy or technical usage) or extrinsic (environmental) influences. Medical specialists must fully understand the technical demands of performers so that they can target specific movement exercises designed to strengthen weakened areas, repattern inefficient motor movements, and increase confidence in performers.
