Taubman Technique for Musicians

The Taubman technique can be used to prevent pianists and other musicians from the pain and agony created by playing the instrument over a long period of time. Many musicians suffer from repetitive injuries due to the improper alignment of the hands, wrists, and arms while playing.

The Taubman approach is to align the body correctly when playing so as to prevent injury and muscle fatigue. The idea is to coordinate motion so that the entire body assists in playing the instrument, rather that just using one’s hands. Avoiding awkward movements will also reduce the stress on those muscles and eliminate the repetitive injury.

You can see it for yourself in action at the Taubman Seminar.

Does patellar tendonitis show in the MRI ?

I am having knee pain in the front the knee ,between the knee cap and the shin bone. My MRI is normal . Each doctor seems to differ on the diagonis . One says that tendonitis does not appear in the MRI unless there is a tear, and the other says it will appear in the MRI even if there is no tear .

Can tendonitis in the wrists cause numbness or tingling in the hands?

I developed tentonitis in both wrists about a year ago while working as a teamster in a warehouse. It took over a month to heal up, and I have flare-ups on a regular basis because my current job requires me to type all day (I no longer work in the warehouse). I am dealing with the pain as best I can, wearing my custom splints when I don’t have to type, and taking painkillers only when absolutely necessary.

Lately, I’ve been noticing a tingling sensation in my fingers and hands whenever I lean on my elbows, sometimes leading to numbness. Is this from the tendonitis? I have never had this problem before.

I also ride a bike on a regular basis (instead of driving, so I do it a lot) which has caused some pain in my shoulders. I have been told that I need to see a chiropractor, and I plan to. However, I’m wondering what the cause of this tingling is. I cannot pinpoint it to correlating with either the wrist pain or the shoulder pain.

I havent had time to see a doctor, all my friends and two personal trainers told me I had tendonitis?

I still work out alot. I have the tennis elbow type of tendonitis. I try to limit the pulling exercise but judging on all this and I am ( a young teen) how long will it take to heal. This season Im not doing many sports.

What can I do for chronic tendonitis in my wrists?

I developed tendonitis in both wrists working as a teamster in a warehouse last summer. Most of the time it’s fine, but I work in an office and the typing sometimes upsets it. I also ride my bicycle everywhere rather than driving, and I get pain shooting down my wrists when I ride. I have custom splints but they are too stiff to wear when typing or riding. I prefer not to take ibuprofin or other painkillers any more often than is absolutely necessary.

I plan to see my doctor about this sometime in the next couple of months, but if anyone has any short-term solutions or suggestions, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
