What is Swissmedmusica?
Swissmedmusica has been promoting health and prevention in the music profession since 1997. The association has built up a high-caliber interdisciplinary network of experts for this purpose.
The network includes international professional associations, Swiss music associations, music schools, music academies and orchestras. Together with them, Swissmedmusica ensures that damage caused by poor posture, stress and overloading is avoided throughout the entire life and professional cycle.
Swissmedmusica maintains a national advice center for those seeking advice. This is free of charge and independent of the institutions in the sector. It treats inquiries with absolute confidentiality, does not pass on any data and can also be contacted anonymously. Swissmedmusica is also a competence center for public relations and information exchange for musicians' medicine. This includes an annual industry meeting, a directory of prevention and therapy services and activities on social media platforms.
Among other things, members receive regular information about SMM events, an exclusive newsletter with industry news and literature references, access to the complete list of members, discounts on documentation for SMM symposia (more information can be found in the "Literature" section of the Swissmemdmusica website), discounts on the journal of the German Society for Music Physiology, a platform for their own course offerings and reduced admission to the society's symposia.
