Musicians tend to suffer from a broad range of problematics related to their playing, from muscle/tendon injuries, to joint injuries, nerve compression disorders and central nervous system disorders. The purpose of this essay was therefore to explore methods used for health and wellbeing of guitarists. The research question was: Which actions are described to support guitarists to recover from injuries and/or maintain health? A qualitative approach was used to collect and analyse the data that were acquired through in-depth interviews and analysis of annotations of musicians who have been patients or were at the time of the interview been following a rehabilitation program in those centres. The analysis of the data produced eight common actions used by both the institutes. The result showed that there is a common ground between the two schools which could be a start for the development of further treatment strategies.
