quote:
Have you ever head that a guitarist should not massage the back of the forearms because it could affect the tendons?
quote:
I learned in the years after that to avoid massaging people
quote:
i no longer give out massages either
could we clarify what we're talking about?
are we talking about:
a) a guitarist massaging their own forearm with their other hand;
b) a guitarist having their forearm massaged by someone else, or;
c) a guitarist giving massage to someone else
[8|][8|][8|]
quote:
Physiologically massage cannot be considered a negative input to either your tendons or muscles.
Anyone who says this has a very limited understandng of human anatomy and basic physiology ...
quote:
when the advice comes from a classical guitarist who earned higher degrees in one of the regions best schools of music and studied alongside some of the worlds most well known classical guitarists, I tend to give it some credence.
just someone is a good guitar player, and/or has studied with good guitar players, doesn't necessarily mean they know anything about anatomy. They might do, but you haven't said if they have a "higher degree" in anatomy and physiology.
