Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows whether playing a musical instrument can benefit rheumatic diseases such as arthritis? I'm sure that it does, but I can't find any articles that prove this.

If anyone has any articles on this I would be grateful if they could send me the link.

Thanks

I can certainly say from experience that having a rheumatic illness doesn't benefit my playing!
But if playing my instruments may benefit my illness I would be very interested.

google "music arthritis" and the first link is this:

music and arthritis

keep playing!
