hello, several years with a 96 bass gave me recurrent tendonitis... osteo, physiotherapy, muscle strengthening (perhaps not enough), it continued and with age it's perhaps less so
I read Coralie Cousin's book "le musicien, un sportif de haut niveau"(ed.AdHoc)it talks about postures on the instrument to avoid the inconveniences associated with it... but it doesn't talk specifically about accordionists, which is a pity...
so I changed accordions for a 60-bass, with the work of adapting to most of my pieces, inevitably missing notes... and sound possibilities
I've seen several people who've stopped playing altogether, because it was easier for them
have any others here had similar experiences? what solutions have you found?

Hello my name is Cathy I have been operated herniated disc three times today I have pain in the hands that wakes me up at night I also have pain in the wrists and left elbow I put orthoses for the thumbs handles I am an accordionist but for my personal account the pain does not come from the accordion I am 69 years old I was operated on the back at the age of 44 there are a lot of accordionists who play at 80 years old or more .... even when I'm not playing, I'm in pain, so I've noticed that the pain in my hands, wrists and elbows is caused by the COVID vaccines I'm sorry to say.
