International Association for Performing Arts Medicine: Changing Voices, effortless Muscles, Deep Breathing - serving the PA community,
by Sigrid Countess von Galen
The International Association for Performing Arts Medicine is providing exemplary services to the musicians and performers community, including dancers, singers, actors, and semi-professional and student performers.
IAPAM offer free assessments by professional therapists, doctors and coaches, who have teamed up for shared research, training and consultancies in their multi-disciplinary fields.
Many people are under the impression that the music and performing arts/film industry is one of glamour and, for a minority, it might be true.
For most, and even the most famous performers and musicians, every day challenges are often unspoken, and pressures are especially high in times of hardship or in the haunting and crowded days and nights on tour buses.
Sore thorats, beginning of vocal nodules, tension, spasms, back aches, sleep dprivation and and overused ligaments are a reality for many, often left undiagnosed and taking away the quality not just of the performance but of life in general.
Musicians and performers who have a physical or psychological problem that is affecting his or her work can contact the IAPAM via the Centre for Trauma Studies: centretraumastudies@gmail.com
After the initial free assessment, which is naturally confidential, further treatment, therapies and/or coaching can be recommended and wherever possible facilitated.
Membership is free.
