Touring Doctor – Health Between Backstage and Spotlight

Life on tour is an exceptional state. Lack of sleep, high
pressure, irregular meals, and constant travel – it’s an intense
strain on both body and mind. But who actually takes care of the
health of artists and their crews?


Moderated by Rosalie Ernst (Zwischen Zwei und Vier), touring
doctors Dr. Sriskantharajah Arun-Castro (RoadieMedic), Dr. Jochen
Habsch (Jochen Habsch Eventmedizin), and Julia Frank (tour and
production manager) discuss the physical and mental challenges
faced by performers on tour. From exhaustion, sleep deprivation,
and chronic pain to psychological strain that often remains
invisible – they share how medical care can be integrated into
touring life, the importance of preventive approaches, and why a
comprehensive health strategy is long overdue. This conversation
sheds light on the realities of health on the road and explores
how medical and organizational support can help artists and crews
stay healthy and perform at their best in the long run.
