*Jonathan Reynolds, PhD, PT
Musicians can contact me at Orthology.com and I typically work at the downtown Minneapolis (Nicollet Mall) and Eagan locations. I specialize in treating musicians and I have a particular interest in treating upper string players. My PhD research investigated right shoulder mechanics and muscle use in the bow arm of violinists with and without shoulder pain. I am the physical therapist for the MN Orchestra.
There are of course other local options for physical and occupational therapy.
