MovEvolution Drumming Therapy: Treating the Pain & Injury of the Modern Percussionist

MovEvolution Drumming Therapy: Treating the Pain & Injury of the Modern Percussionist

 

WHO IS MOVEVOLUTION?
MoveEvolution is a New York-based Physical Therapy and Performance studio located in the heart of Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
We are dedicated to treating the pain, injury, pre/post-surgical condition and movement dysfunction of the musician, dancer, performing artist, multi-sport enthusiast—folks like you who move for a living and live to move
 
OUR MISSION
Drummers (and by “drummers”, I mean all “percussionists”) are an unrepresented community who often find it difficult finding high-quality care specific to their injury, instrument and  individual needs.
Stop wasting time and money going back-and-forth between multiple doctors and clinicians that don’t truly understand your complex drumming pain or particular needs. Don’t settle for cookie-cutter exercises that are not pertinent to your drumming instrument or style. 
My mission is to bring my knowledge and experience (23 years physical therapist, 22 years strength and conditioning coach, 38 years drummer ) to you so you can  play with increased comfort, control and confidence.
 
OUR GOALS

  1. Decrease your pain, discomfort, injury or movement dysfunctions.
  2. Improve your overall drumming fitness.
  3. Avoid future injury.

 
OUR CLIENTS
Strikers, slappers, shakers and scrapers. From trap set to timbalies, bongo to berimbau, kettle drums to kalimbas. All are welcome!
