Strength Training for Musicians?? With Dr Amy Likar

<p>I had such a pleasant conversation with Dr Amy Likar today<br /><br />(well, I guess it was a few months ago when we recorded, but I enjoyed it all the same!)<br /><br />She has been in the musician wellness field for over 30 years, and has a WEALTH of knowledge when it comes to body mapping, technique, and connecting with your instrument.<br /><br />She also shares stories of how injuries and surgeries she experienced led her to develop compensatory playing patterns that led to performance difficulties on flute<br /><br />But then how those difficult experiences led her to find solutions through Alexander Technique, body mapping, and performance psychology. <br /><br />She also shares how she now formulates her exercise routines based on her body mapping and Alexander Technique knowledge, which I found to be particularly interesting!<br /><br />Enjoy, and keep on keepin' on!<br /><br />Learn more about Dr Likar here: <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amylikar.com/" target="_blank">https://amylikar.com/</a><br /><br />Here is another interview she did on the Flute 360 podcast: <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/8qB7_gdxh1M?si=UDC4fU-jTPHPRku5" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/8qB7_gdxh1M?si=UDC4fU-jTPHPRku5</a><br /><br />Here is a link to her Youtube Channel:<br /><br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@UCy2JtyS-SZjcaTjZnitre4A" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@UCy2JtyS-SZjcaTjZnitre4A</a> <br />__________________________<br />Join the mission here: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://musicianunchained.com/podcast" target="_blank">https://musicianunchained.com/podcast</a><br /><br />Sign up for our newsletter here: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://musicianunchained.com/newsletter" target="_blank">https://musicianunchained.com/newsletter</a><br /><br />Work with Clark 1-1 here: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://musicianunchained.com/lets-ha" target="_blank">https://musicianunchained.com/lets-ha</a>...<br /><br />Email me at: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:clark@musicianunchained.com" target="_blank">clark@musicianunchained.com</a><br /><br />Join our FB support group here: / 544195998054376 <br />------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />If you are a musician going through injury, a music educator trying to help one, or a musician just trying to make it in life, then you need to listen to EVERY episode of this up and coming show! <br /><br />Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast host or associated parties.
