Musicians
Physical Therapy
The specialized team from CHPT, now Wellness 360, understands the needs and requirements of performing artists. During treatment for a Performance-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder, we provide strategies to prevent further strains, sprains, or overuse so that you can return to optimal performance as soon as possible. After physical therapy intervention, you will most likely find yourself performing with greater ease and less fatigue, what we refer to as performance enhancement. ​​​
Musicians​
Musicians, as well as other performers, can benefit from our performing arts backgrounds. We work extensively with students, professionals, recreational musicians, and their teachers.
We treat musicians of all ages from public and private schools in the area, including Hochstein Music School and the Eastman School of Music. Professionals from the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and Local chamber groups are also counted among our patients. As we are the only physical therapy center in the area specializing in the treatment of Musicians, we get patients from as far away as Buffalo and Syracuse. Our performing arts specialists have been trained and certified by the Performing Arts Medicine Association.
Our therapists also provide educational workshops and lectures to various local groups such as the Rochester Organ Society, Eastman School Summer Flute Intensive, University of Rochester's Day of Brass and International Viola Conference, and studio classes.
