Fit as a Fiddle (FaaF) is the collaboration between Pamela Frank, violinist and Howard Nelson, PT. They share their respective expertise in music-making and movement analysis to improve a player’s physical health, and possibly their performance.
FaaF's focus is to identify if a musician’s body mechanics, while playing and in daily life, may be the cause of their symptoms, or putting them at risk for injury.
The aim of treatment is to modify and retrain problematic alignments and movement habits.
Their goal is to help the musician find a long-term solution for the problem, and/or prevent a future one.
