🎻 The 4 keys of a good warm-up before playing
Before a concert or rehearsal, your body needs real preparation. Many musicians warm up only with their instrument – or do passive stretching yoga way. It's not necessarily bad, but often... incomplete.
Result: recurrent pain, cramping, or even overwork (cervicobrachialgia, overuse syndrome). Here are 4 concrete steps to prepare your body, inspired by the RAMP protocol.
🔥 Raise — Wake up your system
Increases body temperature and blood circulation.
Examples: squats, controlled slots, deadlifts without charge.
30–45 seconds dynamic movements are sufficient.
💪 Activate — Activate the right muscles
Targets deep muscles around the neck and shoulders.
Prepare the technical gesture by strengthening the foundations.
Ideal before an intensive or prolonged game.
🌀 Mobilize — Lubricate your joints
Move your key areas: neck, wrists, pelvis, shoulders.
Slow and fast work, at the end of amplitude, in all axes.
More fluidity, fewer blockages.
🚀 Potential — Prepare your gesture
Repeat your instrumental gesture, without tension.
Add breath, body consciousness.
You physically and mentally prepared your body for the game.
A good warm-up is never a waste of time
Even if you take 3 more minutes before playing, you win: in comfort, in movement, in feeling.
You play better, with more endurance and control. And it's your body that thanks you. Look at the end of this page, I share a routine example already ready in video.
