title: Myofascial pain dysfunction and viola playing.
abstract: Two cases are illustrated to demonstrate the importance of occupation, in the form of viola playing, in the aetiology of myofascial pain dysfunction. An understanding of the contribution of tension and playing style, together with physical limitations, is emphasised and, consequently, it is acknowledged that modification may be necessary to the formulation of a treatment plan.
