Playing Guitar Without Pain: How to Prevent RSI and Injuries<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

How to prevent pain in your fingers, wrist and shoulders, and when to get help. This page gives general tips and does not replace medical advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Short answer:<\/strong> Playing guitar without pain comes down to a relaxed posture, a short warm-up, pressing no harder than you need to and taking breaks in time. Sore fingertips are normal at first and usually ease once calluses form. Pain, tingling or loss of strength in your wrist, forearm or shoulder is a signal to stop, and if it persists, to see your doctor or a physical therapist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
