JAVS Fall 2023

These are certainly broad brushstrokes, but many times one does not consider the role the body plays in activity, both musical and non-musical, and a little knowledge and awareness can go a long way in helping one to have and maintain an injury free, rich playing life.

Randall Kertz is a chiropractic physician, acupuncturist, educator, and author. He treats many local, national, and international musicians of all playing styles locally and on tour, and has lectured on the subject of musician’s injuries and health education worldwide, as well as consulting, designing, and developing ergonomic and health related products for the music industry. He is also a bassist and has been involved in many other roles in and around the music business. His many books, including The String Player’s Guide- Injury Prevention & Management for Musicians , can be found on Amazon.

I wish you all the best,
