๐ถ In Perfect Harmony: Health & Movement in Tune! ๐ถ
The UP Sports Physical Therapy Clinic, in collaboration with doctors from the Performing Arts Medicine Advocates National Association of the Philippines (PAMANA PH) and the Philippine General Hospital Department of Rehabilitation Medicine (PGH DRM), took part in the Pre-Medical Screening Evaluation held at the UP College of Music (UPCMu) last September 9, 2025. The Dancers, Instrumentalists, Vocalists, and Actors (DIVA) Screening Protocol was utilized to evaluate the unique physical and performance demands experienced by performing artists.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Jenny Yang, Dr. Seann Silangan and UPCMu for the invitation to partake in this endeavor. Screening dancers and students from various music programs was a valuable and enriching experience. It was both refreshing and inspiring to support the health and performance of artists in a setting where movement meets music.
