What is the advantage of consulting a physical therapist for musicians?
Working on posture is done with the instrument. To aid those whose instruments do not lend themselves to transportation, I have a harp, a piano, a double bass, etc, in my office, and am familiar with these and many other instruments.
My in-house work with orchestras is in quick sessions focused on relaxation and the release of tension. Here, as well as at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, I collaborate with many well-known musicians and professors , and am thus familiar with their demands and goals.

I enjoy helping you achieve your musical goals. It's very challenging because one must find solutions.
