Description

Many instrumentalists deal with tingling and numbness in their hands while they play. Let's talk about why and what to do about it. 

Main Takeaways:
1. You have to learn things  to be proficient at them.
2. The main resistance to doing anything is the getting started part.
3. Nerves can get compressed, pulled on, or over-sensitized at any point along their pathway. 
4. The location of your tingling, prickly, numb symptoms help your PT know what to do next. 
5. Go see someone for this symptom - you don't have to live like this.
