positively progressing
Hey there — welcome to positively progressing! I'm chris g, a Doctor of Physiotherapy, professional musician, and your new go-to for making sense of that beautiful, complicated relationship between our bodies and the music we love to play.
This channel is all about helping musicians (and anyone really) stay healthy, prevent injuries, and keep chasing their creative passions without burnout or pain. But it’s not just about staying injury-free — I’m here to help you become a better, smarter musician too. From music education, practice tips, improvisation lessons, to performance hacks and wellness advice — it’s all part of the journey.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a hobbyist, or just curious about how our bodies handle the demands of making music, you’re in the right place.
always positive, always progressing
Have an awesome day! 🙌
