The physical burden on the flutist's body and how it works

The beautiful tone and graceful posture
of the flute and piccolo are very impressive.

However,
despite the apparent elegance of playing the flute,
it puts a unique strain on the player's body.

Understanding the effects of the weight of the instrument,
posture restrictions, and the concentrated movements of
specific parts of the body and dealing with them appropriately
not only protects your health as a musician
for the rest of your life,
but also directly leads to improvements
in your performance.

In this article,
we will explain in detail
the physical characteristics of playing the flute,
the causes of strain, and countermeasures
from a medical and scientific perspective.
