Why us?
Science-based
Kieran combines uniquely applied formal ergonomics and occupational health and safety training with decades of performance and educational experience, and unrivalled product knowledge.
Unparalleled experience
Kieran has been providing postural consultations for over a decade, assisting hundreds of players to reduce pain, increase mobility and enhance performance.
Clear values
The String Ergonomics Studio exists to help players, not to make a profit. We passionately believe that violin and viola playing can—and should—be pain and injury free for all. We're committed to improving your playing ergonomics, because we know too many people play with unnecessary pain.
Holistic and collaborative
Comfort and injury-recovery is an ongoing journey that requires a complexity of skills. Kieran provides unique postural advice and product knowledge, designed to work hand-in-hand with educators, and medical experts such as physiotherapists.
