Dave offers private online consultations as a SoundFit Coach and can help musicians in several ways.

 

These include:

​

• Creating personalised exercise programs that address the specific physical demands of playing a particular instrument or singing. This can include exercises to enhance posture, strengthen muscles used while playing, and improve cardiovascular fitness.

​

• Evaluating posture and identifying any imbalances that could lead to discomfort or injury and create a plan to address those imbalances through targeted exercises and stretches.

​

• Providing guidance on preventing injuries resulting from repetitive strain, overuse, and poor technique. This can involve advice on warming up properly, taking breaks during practice sessions, and modifying playing techniques to reduce the risk of injury.

​

• Dave can advise musicians on how to manage pre-existing injuries such as tendinitis or carpal tunnel syndrome, to prevent them from recurring or getting worse. This can include stretches and exercises that promote healing and mobility.

​

• Offering guidance on maintaining proper nutrition and hydration levels to support a musician's physical performance and overall health.

​

• Dave can also provide emotional support and guidance to musicians experiencing mental health challenges like anxiety or depression, which can impact their physical health and playing ability.

​

All of these services can be offered through online consultations, making it convenient for musicians to access support from anywhere in the world.

Dave is offering a free 10-minute consultation for potential clients to determine if he can help them improve their physical health and wellbeing as a musician.
