  Change between Baseline and post-treatment, 6 weeks

• Pain Intensity

  The Musculoskeletal Pain Intensity and Interference Questionnaire for professional orchestra Musicians of the Polish Population (MPIIQM-P); from 0 to 40, the higher the score, the greater the pain intensity;

  Change between Baseline and post-treatment, 6 weeks

• Anxiety level - biological predisposition (BP)

  Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory - Certified Polish translation; the higher the score, the worse the biological predisposition; from 0 to 30;

  Change between Baseline and post-treatment, 6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Flexibility level

  Change between Baseline and post-treatment, 6 weeks
