It would make sense that if no doctors can identify the root cause of an issue physically, that that issue might be psychological. The problem is the way it comes accross from the OP and gman is that [i]every [/i]RSI type condition is down to stress, when clearly there are lots of physical conditions which can be treated with the wonders of modern medicine.[/quote] There are many conditions which have psycho-social elements. What i find intolerable about the OP is that he or she is saying that an undiagnosed condition is probably psycho-somatic. That is a dangerous assumption to make. Injury can be exacerbated by psycho-social effects, but they are rarely the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi guys, having been getting some pains recently I found this post. Not that bad, but trying to work out what to do. I am practicing 4h a day plus a few rehearsals and a few gigs per week. Doesn't seem that extreme. As a drummer I used to practice around 6 or 7h. Posture seems to be more important than I'd considered and I'm addressing this in practice as well as going to see an alexander technique musician specialist. I have to say I was surprised to read such agreassive responses to the post as I thought this forum was one of much niceness! The mind is the body, undeniably. Don't want to get myself in trouble now, just saying... They are part of the one thing. But that doesn't make pains not real things that are triggered by physical behaviour. Anyway. Could we maybe hear from the original creator of the thread to see how he's doing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
