It's less common in the performing arts sphere to think about dancers and musicians as "athletes"; but physiology is physiology. We welcome onto the show, Jacob Manley, to discuss the nuance and special considerations when managing these athletes. This is a topic that has not been discussed on the podcast before, and Jacob brought some really interesting insight. In addition to being a Physical Therapist, Jacob is a graduate of Shenandoah University's Performing Arts Medicine program where he studied to specialize in rehabilitation for dancers and musicians.
