Our approach
Educate to Prevent
Through the Process provides performance consultation to support the health and wellbeing of professional artists, especially musicians, during their performance careers. Our main goal is to raise awareness in the artistic field, connecting Science with Performing Arts, providing multiple ways of knowledge and support about artists’ mental and physical health. We offer a series of interviews, podcasts, inspired by story-telling with various perceptions and perspectives from different backgrounds. We also work on education, offering a series of workshops, webinars about multiple topics related to performance functional biomechanics, pedagogical strategies, physical and mental awareness. We want to develop the idea that the performance concept is present in multiple domains and areas.
Professional artists are also peak performance athletes, requiring mental and physical support during their artistic careers.
Our Services
Our performance consultation services are available to every musician wanting to improve their health and wellbeing, prevent performance injuries and recover from performance-related conditions, such as Musicians’ Focal Dystonia, Performance Anxiety, Biomechanical and Musculoskeletal problems.
We are in contact with doctors who have specific knowledge about performance biomechanics from a Performing Arts Medicine background (Physiotherapists, Neurologists, Psychologists, Physiatrists, Nutritionists, Osteopaths).
We are currently offering a FREE 30-minutes performance consultation with an included plan report and referring.
The best way of changing behaviours is by having new perceptions.
Let us help you improve your health and wellbeing.
Interviews and Podcasts
The first Interview of Through the Process was with Alex Klein, Principal Oboe Emeritus from Chicago Symphony Orchestra and artistic director of the Festival Internacional de Musica de Santa Catarina.
An insightful story of one of the greatest musicians of history, sharing perceptions and perspectives about the artistic identity of a musician, purposes, experiences, success, adversities and resilience, after dealing with a performance condition called Musicians’ Focal Dystonia.
An example that “Out of Adversity comes Opportunity”
"I don't practise because I have to, I practise because it gives me great pleasure doing it (...)"
(Mr. Alex Klein)
Educate to Prevent Workshops & Webinars
The best way of raising awareness is by investing in education.
These workshops series will have practitioners, therapists, professionals from various backgrounds and domains, sharing their knowledge about important matters related to the health and wellbeing of music performers.
Education is the best way to provide new tools and resources to prepare people to face the reality in life. If we want efficient prevention, it is important to provide efficient education.

My professional career started in music performance as an orchestral musician (Bass Trombone). However, due to a performance-related condition called Musicians’ Focal Dystonia, I was forced to take a long-term break in my career as a performer.
