Facial Stretches & Anatomy: Relieving Tension & Overuse in Musicians (Brass & Wind Players) - Part 2

Описание: This video has been requested over the years, and I've avoided making it simply because of how embarrassing it is to show these stretches. Now you finally have it!

This video continues to cover facial muscle stretches that have helped me in retraining/recovery. It specifically focuses on "facial expression muscles" (the smaller groups of muscles vs the larger muscle groups/myofascial release used in the first video), and the importance of stretching in ones practice routine.

You can find the first video over stretches here:

__________________________________________

Hi, I'm Katie.....I'm a horn player with Focal Task-specific Embouchure Dystonia (Musicians Dystonia). My blog "Living with Embouchure Dystonia" thoroughly documented my progress throughout recovery spanning a decade. I also share resources, research articles, case studies, valuable information on various brass performance-related injuries on there.

I also host a live stream series called "Musicians Dystonia & Injury Live Talk". I coordinate support groups when can, and proactive about performance art health and education. I actively participant in ongoing research studies too.

It is my goal to raise awareness about FTSED, provide guidance and hope, to collaborate with other musicians who are passionate about musicians health, to bring communities together, bridge gaps, and create more inclusivity for musicians facing dystonia and/or injuries.

I currently reside in Washington state, play in a brass quintet and local orchestra, pursuing my masters degree in nonprofit arts leadership. I'm pursuing additional health courses/certification on the side.

I've overcome many trials and tribulations throughout life; not just focal dystonia, but complex post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorder; and major physical health setbacks/surgeries. I care deeply about helping others who have been in the same boat.

I'm a member of the Association of Arts Administration Educators, the Performance Arts Medicine Association -- part of the PAMA Young Professionals Committee, and passed the PAMA & Sports Medicine Health Association Essentials Course on Performance Art Health, and a member of the International Horn Society.

I serve on the Arts Education Partnership Advisory Council as a graduate student representative and attend Seattle University as a masters student in nonprofit arts leadership.
