Description: The Musician As Athlete: Alternative Approaches to Healthy Performance "...a MUST for every professional and amateur musician, music educator and music student. It is a superb book for reading and reference, and it is the only book of its kind." -Rena Fruchter, Concert Pianist and New York Music Columnist From the introduction: "In the late 70's I developed a ganglion in my left hand. The doctor said surgery. I never looked back (literally!) One result is this book, which is read by athletes of all kinds, not just musicians and not just professionals." Four sections: anatomy/exercises, biology/nutrition, herbs/homeopathics, emotional/energetic healing.
