Crafting, Music and Movement: How to Keep Your Body in Tune

Music and hobbies keep us engaged. If you're like many who use their fingers, hands and arms and sit for long periods when working on their hobbies or playing an instrument, beware that overuse can be lead to injuries. Our expert for this episode, Jean-Michel Brismée, Sc.D., PT, is a physical therapist and distinguished professor in the doctor of science program in physical therapy in the TTUHSC School of Health Professions. Dr. Brismée emphasizes the importance of taking breaks and maintaining good posture, but adds that other health issues could possibly by the cause someone is feeling pain or discomfort.
