Have any of you developed piriformis syndrome or sciatica that you think may be connected to playing the pedal harp?
No, I had sciatica from an accident, but I had copper poisoning that was probably from the strings.
Yes! I’ve suffered through sciatica. The best treatment is yoga! (maybe some anti-inflamatories as well)
I don’t believe its specific to the ‘pedal harp’ I do think it is connected with sitting far too much for work though.
