Resistance training in king in fixing tendonitis. I'm currently strength training my upper body so that all the weight of playing an instrument is supported by my upper back, shoulders, biceps, and triceps. Having a weak upper body can force all the tension from playing into your elbows and forearms, causing a rupture. This happened to me back in February of 2023, and I'm still recovering. But thanks to strength training, by tendons are getting stronger and are less likely to be injured. Again, I'm still recovering, but I have been able to play guitar between 20 to 40 minutes a day now. I want to train myself so I can play for two-plus hours in the future. Here's a video from a rock climber on his full recovery process: kzitem.info/news/bejne/wJ-D25mnonWkiX4&ab_channel=DaveMacLeod Remember: Stay fit, stay hydrated, stay healthy, and Good luck!

I’m a guitarist have played for 15 years last year I started a job that allowed me the entire winter off and so obviously being a musician I began rubbing my hands at 12 hour practice sessions my girlfriend would leave at 6 am and not be home until about 8 pm and I began my practice a few moments after she walked out the door and 30 minutes before she got home so I could start dinner and pretend I didn’t just practice intensely for 12 hours it didn’t help that right before my time off I got diagnosed with adhd resulting in me getting out on stimulants so 12 hours a day with adderal fueled focus speed and precision did that 8 weeks and I row until I picked it up one day and my wrist was sore took a day off and cried because I couldn’t play it’s now been 2 weeks and I’m waiting to see a doctor I hope with all my heart I can get back to playing soon guitar is the love of my life since I was a young kid tendinitis is horrible

A lot of this stuff is important for videogamers too. Stretch, hydrate and take breaks--rule of thumb for practicing anything it seems. Glad to see people talking about preserving their hands, needs a PSA lol.

deep tissue massage and ultrasound is exactly with my therapist did as well. It worked, but I do have to be careful or my tendons can flare up again. Having a good warmup and cool down routine are the best things I ever did, also getting one of those balls for trigger point and deep tissue massage in my forearms have been a life saver. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice.

Sorry to hear that it got so bad for you. My professor has made it a point to detail what good playing position is and how it is preventative maintenance. Thumb rest height, angle the instrument enters the mouth, and hand position among other things.

That's good. I feel like so many teachers ignore hand position until it's too late. Then you (or your student) need to relearn how to hold the clarinet and it's like starting from scratch. I'm just glad that it didn't get bad enough where I couldn't play, and that I learned how to correct it and treat it.

You forget to mention , rsi can be manifested from emotions , don’t ever say rsi can stop you playing ur instrument , that is not true ,

What exactly do you mean by RSI. Because I’m not sure what you are talking about, what I mean is, the pain in the tendons can physically prevent you from playing your instrument. I have known people who had tendinitis so badly that they were unable to recover their motor function and could not play their instrument.

How long does it take to get back to your instrument? 8 months tendinitis here and my hands are still very weak

It really depends, honestly. If you were practicing diligently before tendinitis, it shouldn't take long for muscle memory to come back in terms of technique and embouchure, but things like air support might take longer due to not being "in shape" (if you're a wind player). I'm sorry that you're going through this, it really really sucks to not be able to play. It's frusterating at first because things may not feel as natural or easy as they once did, but it all comes back. Just be super careful that you don't over practice once you get back to it. Best of luck ♥️

Did you change your thumb rest? I’m hesitant to change mine due to tendonitis.

I kept mine the way it was, but always play standing with a neck strap.
