75% of professional performers will have a health problem related to their creative practice at some point in their career. The reasons behind this are complex, caused by a range of factors including the physical and mental effort required to perform, the financial uncertainty of the industry and  the performance environment. The diagram above illustrates how these factors combine to produce a health problem, which will have a poorer outcome if the right care is not accessed quickly.
