Must read - I wonder how applicable this is to elite performers/ dancers post injury, who have higher than the average MSK foot strength demands and already spend time and training barefoot and in soft shoes.💃🏼

[Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise @MSSEonline]

Homework after vocal physio... look after yourself! Self-management is key to sustaining those treatment gains and increasing time between appointments!

[The Mindful Singer Coach @MicWatAcademy]

Find you range is a bit lower? Make sure to add lowering the laynrx to your warm up. Work lower releases upper
