Dr Bronwen Ackermann is a specialist musicians’ physiotherapist, musculoskeletal anatomist and musicians’ health researcher at the University of Sydney. Her interest in performing arts health grew as a result of working with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra since 1995, going on to work on improving occupational health as well as developing best-practice injury prevention and management strategies with all the major Australian Orchestras, as well as the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
In this free research seminar, Bronwen will explore the topic ‘Educating the Musical Athlete’, discussing her work in developing curricula and training for performing arts students, educators and healthcare professionals.
