We approach practicing like a mental activity when, in fact, it is at least 50% a physical activity by definition. Try caring for your physical self too after practicing:
- Ice your forearms
- Do PT designed to counteract the overused motions of practicing
- EAT before and after practicing
- SLEEP every night like athletes to
- Naps help practice sessions sink in
- Be careful about overuse through activities that strain the same muscles and joints…i.e. careful how much you type if you’re a pianist. (Looking at you here, Rachelle)
- If you have the privilege of affording it, get regular chiropractic care
