Ep125 Physiotherapist Mark Tsai Offers Advice on Dealing with Hand Cramping

In episode 125 of the Guitar Music Theory podcast, I welcome back
Physiotherapist Mark Tsai to discuss some recent problems I've
had with my hands. We talk about how the way you hold your guitar
determines the amount of flexion in your wrists which could cause
issues that lead to cramping. I play a little bit of the bass
line from Journey's "Don't Stop believing" and explain how my
hand locked up halfway through the song at a recent gig. We even
get off into the weeds a bit and talk about chronic pain and the
books of Dr. John Sarno and Alan Gordon that have helped heal so
many people.
