Many musicians tend to dedicate so many hours on practice. The way they use their bodies are so different when compared to people with ordinary life style. Their posture and repetitive use or overuse of the same muscles could easily cause musician related symptoms.
Moreover, many musicians suffer from emotional or mental issues that can arise from the demanding lifestyle of a performer.

The Tension Theory
When you suffer from musculoskeletal disorders like those listed above, their causes are not at the local pain spot in most cases. For example, when you have elbow pain, treating the elbow does not solve the problem. This is one reason why it usually takes time to treat those symptoms.
The tension theory of SEIDO acupuncture tells us where to look for the real causes. So, you can feel the difference right away.
