How To Heal From Artist Injuries | Art Habits and Rehab Tips To Get Back To Making Art

Hey there, happy artists! In this video, I share my advice on how to heal from art injuries. I’ve dealt with debilitating injuries that have kept me from making art; from hours of research and trying everything under the sun, I’ve found some new habits and short term rehab techniques that have allowed me to make as much art as I have time to make.
Whether you have carpal tunnel, RSI, tennis elbow, neck and back pain, plantar fasciitis or something else, I think my input can set the majority of people on track to feeling and working better.
Please note, this is not medical advice. I am sharing my opinions and personal experiences as someone who has dealt with art injuries.

Extremely useful information bro

I paint for hobby and been having issues with entire right arm and back. Your video and others’s comments is an enlightenment for me.

Very thoughtful content . Thanks for sharing! I am not a professional artist (but I love to create and DIY), I worked for years in a lab and partially destroyed my wrists because of constant pipetting and other bad habits. Your message is universal, we have to move more because that's what our body is designed for💃. Tipp from my osteopath: when sitting in a chair is a good habit to put a rolled-up towel under the lumbar spine. Take care!

@Kyle Heath Art Well this is timely. I spent May not doing anything after having some forearm muscle pain from painting small details. Did a few stretches but found it wasn't for me. Decided to not draw/paint at all and keep my arm pretty neutral as O let the body do its healing. Feel better but giving it a few more days before I get back. Regarding back/neck pain, I would recommend: 1) Dr. Stuart McGill's 'Back Mechanic' book. He has tons of interviews on here too. 2) Steve August and his Backpod. He deals with Costochondritis. Check it out and his interviews. Thanks Kyle!

I can relate to the forearm pain from leaning in too closely! Thanks for watching, and for sharing Mark!
