Become a Performing-Arts ATHLETE! With Dr Emily Gee

About this episode

Dr. Emily Gee discusses the importance of wellness strategies for performing artists and her experiences as a cellist with injury.

I love highlighting the good things happening in the musician health world! One of those things is happening on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder's College of Music. A few weeks ago we met the embedded psychotherapist who is in the COM, Matthew Tomatz, LPC. This week, we meet the director of the musician wellness program: Dr Emily Gee. We talk about her personal experiences with injury as a cellist with thoracic outlet syndrome. We talk about the processes she takes her students through to give them a holistic education in building their wellness strategies.
