Performance and Body Mapping
If you are a musician seeking to enhance your performance wellness, understanding the quality of your movement is essential.
With the exception of singers, most musicians build their practice around an unchanging object—their instrument. This intense focus can create subtle alignment and movement challenges over time. How we move is shaped by the body map we hold in our mind; if that internal map is slightly off, our movements become constricted, tension builds, and injuries can follow.
Body Mapping offers a pathway to deeper self-awareness, revealing the structures that support healthy, efficient movement. It teaches intentional movement practices, helping prevent and heal performance-related injuries while fostering a more expressive and fluid musical practice.
As a licensed movement specialist, I work with dedicated performers to cultivate self-awareness, intentional movement, and injury prevention. Together, we transform your practice into one that supports both artistry and longevity—so you can play with ease, freedom, and joy.
“I injured both wrists in a hand drumming class. The injury became chronic and stopped me from playing piano. After deciding that the injury won’t heal on its own, I started seeking professional help. For the next year and a half, I saw three physiotherapists, two chiropractors, a massage therapist, and two acupuncturists. After having spent more than $2000 on treatments that only helped temporarily, my injury still remained.
When I was introduced to the world of body mapping by Bianca, I began shifting focus to my entire body instead of just the site of pain. Bianca helped me to find length, stable alignment, fluidity in movement and strength in my postural muscles. As my alignment and movement became healthier, I noticed long-lasting improvements to my wrist pain as well. I can play piano without pain again, and the quality of my sound has been better than it was before the injury.
I will need to do further work for the injury to be gone for good. However, what little remains of it no longer affects my quality of life. I’m very grateful to have been introduced to body mapping and performance health as it has provided relief that not even $2000 worth of treatments could provide.”
