David Cartolano is a guitarist, retired student doctor of physical therapy, and exercise physiologist at The Conditioned Musician. David has worked with a few musicians internationally over Zoom, and helped them out with some nagging pains. He opens the floor with a simple question - "now that you've learned to manage your injury, what advice would you give to other musicians?"

David Cartolano is a guitarist, exercise physiologist, and entrepreneur at TheConditionedMusician, a platform that helps musicians get over playing-related injuries. He, like many other musicians, has periods of injury and poor advice from doctors. David talks about his personal story of suffering and what he has done to get through it. 

If you can relate to David's injury, then we have something for you.

Helena Garcia is a violinist who began to notice a pain in her pinky whilst playing. Like any musician, she ignored it until it got worse. Much, much worse. To the point of her not being able to lift her instrument.⁣

Narmeen Mustafa is living proof of overcoming pain as a result of playing her instrument. She had pain in her wrist and thumb about one year ago. Not only did the pain interfere with her playing, it began to interfere with her identity as a musician. She started to blame herself and question whether or not she should continue the violin. 

Narmeen reached out to me and we began work together. She was amazingly consistent, she adapted the mindset of how every problem has a solution. She stuck to her exercises, and now only has residual feelings in her wrists. 

If Narmeen's story sounds like yours, then take action. I want to help you, but I can't help you if I don't hear from you: https://bit.ly/getridofnaggingpains

Pamela Frank is a renowned violinist and highly sought after chamber musician, but I really wanted her to join us to explain her two most recent ventures in music: being the Artistic Director of the Evnin Rising Stars mentoring program for young artists since 2008 and helping form Fit as a Fiddle Inc., a collaboration with physical therapist Howard Nelson to help and treat musicians with their injuries. She so expertly explains why trying to play through an injury is often a risk that a musician serious about their long-term career should highly consider. She has us questioning ourselves: Is it truly worth it?
