Abstract
To paraphrase the old saying, a sixteenth note of prevention is worth a whole note of cure. Unfortunately, in 2006 we have very few sixteenth notes of proven prevention to offer performing artists. Therefore, practitioners of performing arts medicine are mostly limited to offering injured artists whole notes of treatment, assuming that the artist is in an area where she or he can find some treatment and can afford to pay for it. Should we be concerned that we have so little to offer in the way of injury prevention in the third decade of the existence of the field? What follows are my thoughts on the subject, sparsely annotated, focusing mainly on the instrumental musician.
