Musculoskeletal Pain Affects Young Musicians.

Students who play musical instruments may be more likely to experience musculoskeletal problems than their peers. Neck pain (60.4%), wrist pain (44.4%), upper back pain (41.7%), and lower back pain (38.2%) were the most common musculoskeletal complaints among a group of 225 adolescent musicians. Because the probability of developing pain symptoms increases with each additional year a student plays, the authors of the study recommend preventative treatments to protect young musicians' necks, wrists, and backs.
