Summary:In much the same way that athletic trainers remain actively engaged with athletes from the sidelines and during cross-training sessions, performance artists are increasingly finding benefit from working with specially trained medical professionals to help maintain health, improve strength, prevent injury, and rehabilitate in their performance discipline. For schools with performing arts programs, a partnership with local or regional health providers brings a breadth and depth of resources that go well beyond what most institutions can provide in-house. With a shared interest in promoting health and wellness among performing artists, the partnership between Christopher Newport University and Riverside Health System has resulted in increased awareness, education, and healthier practice of the arts.
