BAPAM Assessment Clinics• Effects of pain
– A slight increase can have a major impact when under pressure
– Wind-up is a common feature – a vicious circle of pain, muscle tension and poor posture
– Fear of the dreaded ‘RSI’ or ‘teno’ and ending a career - catastrophising
– Pain acts as a block between brain
and performance

A Typical Problem
• A second year violin student
• Had done well at school and in the first year but was under pressure
• Responded by working and practicing over 12 hours a day
• She was sleeping badly and had developed neck pain.
![Page 33: Dr Mike Shipley Consultant Rheumatologist University College Hospital, London Trustee BAPAM](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649e265503460f94b16166/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A Typical Problem
• She had been advised to take time off and not play at all
• She feared for her career
• Neck pain was muscular & related to poor posture
• Sleep disturbance is well recognized
to worsen chronic pain
![Page 34: Dr Mike Shipley Consultant Rheumatologist University College Hospital, London Trustee BAPAM](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649e265503460f94b16166/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
A Typical Problem• Advised to play a little intermittently &
gradually increase – she immediately looked less anxious
• Take regular paracetamol for a while to break the cycle of pain – not wait until at ‘screaming pitch’
• See a physio about posture & relaxation
• Get advice about violin technique
![Page 35: Dr Mike Shipley Consultant Rheumatologist University College Hospital, London Trustee BAPAM](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649e265503460f94b16166/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A Typical Problem
• She took up exercise & yoga and got fitter• Sleep improved• Pain levels reduced & she no longer needed
paracetamol• Felt happier with her technique• Came to terms that she would never be a
superstar• Graduated and now plays in a professional
orchestra
![Page 36: Dr Mike Shipley Consultant Rheumatologist University College Hospital, London Trustee BAPAM](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649e265503460f94b16166/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
KEY POINTS
• Educate the teachers and the performers
• Prevention is better than cure• Early recognition can often reduce long
term disability• We need to reduce the stigma –
intolerance from colleagues not yet affected
