Apparently musical training is associated with pain tolerance? More here.
“Summary: A new study finds that musicians experience pain differently than non-musicians, thanks to how their brains adapt through years of training. While pain usually shrinks the brain’s motor maps and increases discomfort, musicians showed stable motor maps and reported less pain after induced hand soreness.”
Another good reason to support live music and music education — pain tolerance. I’m sure more of us could use that.
