TCM: Musician clinic: Flowing movement with minor exercises.
Free TAMK online stream. Link to the stream (In Finnish) >
​
Lecturer: Erja Kouri, physical therapist, PhysioPilates-instructor and physical therapist of music.
The lecture will be held in Finnish.
​
The physical therapist Erja Kouri takes the listeners on a journey of movement. In this shared moment we’ll take a look at the fluency of movement, the consciousness of actions and kinetic energy.
During this class we’ll try out ways of making movements without the pressure of performance, with only the energy that is required for that exact movement. We’ll stop to feel our breathing and how it affects the movement. Some of the exercises are based on the Chinese Qigong tradition. The exercises will be done both sitting down and standing up, so they are suitable for everyone.
The class also includes ideas for concentration and recovery in the music industry.

Life is change. What role does the brain play during a process of change? Is the brain changing slower than we would want it to?

Schubert’s String quintet is very special to me. It holds painful memories, yet at the same time the most beautiful and deepest peace. A tree nourished with water grows towards the sky, rising above earthly life, bringing power and its immortal moment. ”Consciousness expands and the limits fade out and blend together.”

TCM Lecture: Pain - healing in change
The lecture will be held in Finnish. This lecture will be streamed online and is available for people who have subscribed to Aamulehti. Also a small amount of normal tickets are on sale.
​
​
Lecturer: Jukka Pekka Kouri, physiatrist and specialist in general medicine, pain treatment and rehabilitation.
​
The treatment of pain is developing and changing. Traditional methods of treatment are being shaken. Traditional medicines help only some of the patients, or aren't effective enough. New research shows that non-medical treatments such as acupuncture, physical therapy and rehabilitation are effective. Also psychological methods, such as relaxation and mindfulness exercises, have a place in pain treatment. Can music help to heal pain, and how can musicians' pain be treated?
