Subject:  MED: Knee problems


I can't imagine why so many opera singers are having knee problems. Is it at
a greater rate than the general population? Do they stand too long? Do they
lock their knees!! (That would be nuts!) I am CURIOUS!!

<Hello all,

<I've recently noticed that many opera singers are suffering from knee
<problems and I was wondering what the cause might be. My teacher
<seemed to indicate that it is a question of posture, but then <proceeded
<to list several singers with good technique who have knee problems.

<Is there a way to stand properly for singing without putting
<significant stress on your knees and thus avoid this problem?

<Thank you,

<Ingo
