Brief Summary

In professional musicians there are characteristic diseases. In this area there is no preventive culture and many musicians end their professional careers due to ailments and pathologies that cause the abandonment of the profession or they learn to live and play with pain. It is a very demanding profession that requires many hours of training without respecting the necessary rest, which undoubtedly produces fatigue and muscle overload, neurological disorders, etc. Also, the demands to achieve perfection lead to serious work problems. Given that it is a profession that suffers from pain and psychosomatic alterations and that is often accompanied by emotional alterations due to work demands, it is necessary to know this problem and to what extent it affects the musician to be able to act from different areas and improve his well-being. The objective is to know specifically the characteristics of professional musicians, their impact variables, both musculoskeletal and emotional, variables related to the workplace and to evaluate their quality of life.
