"In time, I realized I wasn’t having those nagging pains anymore. I watched younger colleagues have to take time off from work with pain/overuse issues related to playing the violin, but since 2013 I have never needed time off for those reasons. Occasionally, of course I would have slight aches and pains, which Suzanne would help me fix with her targeted Pilates exercises and trigger release massage."
