New Book: ‘Playing Well: Prevention and Biomechanics of Musician Injuries’by Rita Davidson Barnea |
Lynda Griffith, Doctor of Physical Therapy, is a specialist in the biomechanics of orthopedic injury to musicians, dancers and athletes, player of accordion, concertina and bandoneon, and a certified instrument repair technician. She has written and illustrated a new book, ‘Playing Well’, which is a detailed reference for players and teachers of accordion, concertina and bandoneon with regard to injury, injury prevention and performance. The book is likely to be of interest to physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and other practitioners who treat injured musicians and would have an academic or professional interest in knowing about players of accordion, concertina and bandoneon. Lynda Griffith has 30 years experience in private practice as a physical therapist specializing in manual treatment and biomechanic analysis of orthopedic injuries to musicians, dancers and athletes. She currently has a private practice in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. In addition she studied music with accordion as her primary instrument at University of Wisconsin-Superior. She is also a graduate of Accordion-Concertina Repair Technicians' School in Superior WI. Lynda launched the book at the ATG Festival last week. The book selling for $60 was well received and is now available online from the author. For further information email: Lgaccord@hughes.net |
