Swissmedmusica has been promoting health and prevention in the music profession since 1997. To this end, the society has built up a top-class interdisciplinary network of experts.
The network also includes international professional associations, the Swiss music associations, music schools, music academies and orchestras. Together with these, SwissMedMusica ensures that damage caused by incorrect posture, stress and overstraining is avoided throughout the entire life and professional cycle.
Swissmedmusica maintains a national counselling centre for those seeking advice. This is free of charge and independent of the institutions in the sector. It treats enquiries with absolute confidentiality, does not pass on any data and can also be used anonymously.
Swissmedmusica is also a competence centre for public relations and information exchange for musician’s medicine. This includes an annual industry meeting, a directory of prevention and therapy services and activities on social media platforms.
