Day 2 of the first Musicians' Injury Awareness Week brings us Peter Regan's story. 

Peter recently graduated from the Royal College of Music and this summer founded Fulham Fest with two friends. In his last year of study, he developed an injury in his hands, affecting not only his playing but also his mental well-being. Luckily, the pandemic seemed to come at just the right time for Peter as it meant that he could take things a little easier and pace his practice to suit him and his injury. Like many of us, he started doing some at-home yoga which seemed to help, but didn't completely remedy his injury. But then he accidentally linked up with a mobility coach, Mark McCourt (The Guy Who Didn't Settle), through social media. Mark showed him some joint exercises to develop a fuller range of motion, and Peter's eyes were opened to another level of looking after oneself and injury prevention.
