Are you suffering from a performance-related injury or illness and not sure where to go for help? You are not alone. And you are not the first.
BAPAM is the only organisation providing specialist health support to all professional and student performing artists throughout the UK.
We have been running specialist clinics since 1984. We started off working with instrumental musicians in London, later with singers, actors, dancers and variety artists from puppeteers to whirling dervishes. Our clinic network is expanding throughout the country, as is our directory of health practitioners who are passionate about the performing arts and will do everything they can to get you back on stage.
Whether you’re already experiencing performance-related health problems or if you want to learn how to look after yourself to ensure you have a long, healthy career, BAPAM can help you.
