“I enjoyd my final exam a lot, I go an 8,5”  and “it helped me to be a better musician”

Mensendieck therapie has helped me to improve my body posture in general, and also, it has helped me to play cello in a better and relaxed position.

I started Mensendieck therapie because I got an injury in my arm, due to my bad position while I was playing cello and due to my extra muscle tension. Thanks to this technique I have learned how to prevent and avoid the tension, I am aware of the muscles that are working while I am playing and how to use them properly. As a result, I have less tension and less pain while I am playing.

Mensendieck therapie allowed me to be more aware of my body and thereby, it has helped me to be better musician; I have more control of my bow, better quality of the sound, more security on stage, less stage fright and more freedom of movement… I can not be more grateful!
