◆Walking

This is the most orthodox and easy way.
By walking, you can adjust your body's distortion.
However, the drawback is that it takes a certain amount of time.


◆Running

It helps to relieve back tension.
However, it is wise not to do this if you are not physically fit. This is because of the risk of injury.


◆Weight training.

This is controversial.
The muscles needed for the instrument are the supple inner muscles.

Some musicians have a body-building physique, but this is more for personal taste than for performance.
In performance, it is unnecessary to have muscles to show.


◆Osteopaths and osteopaths.

You can have your body distortion relieved under the care of a osteopathic doctor who possesses a proper license.
In some cases, insurance coverage is cheaper, though,
However, it is only applicable to accidents in daily life.
Therefore, depending on your symptoms, you may be charged for the insurance premiums later on.
Be careful when you see a doctor.

However, there are some musicians who avoid osteopathic treatment because they do not want to get rid of body habits that they have acquired through practice.
They may have a point, since practicing a musical instrument is also training to develop special movement habits.


◆Relaxation and massage.

For the reasons mentioned above, some performers dare to take healing massages to tire out their bodies.

One of the disadvantages of relaxation massage is that fir back can occur if you have a not-so-skilled masseuse.
Even if your body relaxes immediately after the massage, there are cases where your whole body aches the next day.


◆Foot Massage

The foot massage is excellent in that there is almost no firmer reaction that can occur with a relaxation massage.
However, the price is a little expensive.


Acupuncture and Moxibustion
A thin needle is inserted into the area of stubborn stiffness. This can temporarily relieve stiffness in the body.


◆Stretching.

This is a basic coping method. There are various ways to do it, but too much of it is disadvantageous to the body.

It is probably safer to do this under the guidance of a gym or specialized store.


◆Alexander Technique.

This is a worldwide method for wasteful force in performance, not physical recovery.
Through lectures and private lessons, they seem to learn how to use their bodies properly and how to play.

Not only those who suffer from physical problems, but also players who want to use the method to improve their playing are enthusiastic about it.
In recent years, more and more music colleges are incorporating this method in their classes.


◆Sleep

This is the most basic of the basics. The body recovers from fatigue through sleep.


◆Summary.

To do so, take it easy, have fun, and enjoy playing your instrument!
