DESCRIPTION:I am a physiotherapist working within a specialist
  music school for pre-conservatoire level young mu
 sicians aged 9 – 18. Initially employed there to t
 reat playing-related musculoskeletal disorders\, I
  soon realised that the injuries I was treating we
 re largely preventable\, and I wanted to work towa
 rds preventing them. Much research has been carrie
 d out within Music Conservatoires\, looking at hea
 lth promotion strategies and strategies to reduce 
 the incidence of playing related injuries in under
 graduate and post graduate performers. The general
  conclusion is that although these strategies are 
 helpful\, they have no impact on injuries acquired
  prior to commencing conservatoire level study. Th
 e recommendation is that injury prevention work ne
 eds to start in a pre-conservatoire setting. In 20
 11 I joined the first cohort of Doctorate of Educa
 tion students at the University of Cambridge\, wit
 h the intention of developing an injury prevention
  programme at the school. Based on an audit of phy
 siotherapy records which revealed five main risk f
 actors for injuries at the school\, this innovativ
 e Action Research project is a qualitative design 
 which has utilised the cyclical\, reflective and r
 eflexive nature of Action Research to introduce in
 novative changes to policy and practice within the
  school\, and to generate interest at national lev
 el.\n
