An osteopathic approach to the performing artist is a complete approach. It involves spending adequate time with the performing artist to obtain a complete history and evaluation. It requires attention to the performer's lifestyle, practice habits, exercise routine, nutrition, stress level, and coexisting medical problems. Because an injury to a performing artist can be physically, emotionally, and financially devastating, these patients deserve a comprehensive treatment plan to allow for the best opportunity for recovery.
