Their next Belfast clinic is scheduled this week on Friday 27 Sept.
BAPAM’s free clinic in Belfast is open.
75% of those working in the performing arts will face a health problem that will impact their career.
Many of those injuries or health issues need specialist treatment or approaches.
BAPAM are clinical specialists, delivering expert health and wellbeing services for those working in the performing arts. We are at the forefront of treating nuanced health issues – psychological and physical. Last year, the charity supported 3,000 performers, artists, creators and industry professionals.
BAPAM’s free face to face consultations are for people working or studying in the performing arts who are experiencing a health problem affecting their practice. BAPAM clinicians provide a comprehensive in-person clinical assessment (during which performers can demonstrate their practice) and expert hands-on care.
In Belfast, appointments are available with BAPAM GP, Dr Christine Hunter, and Physiotherapist, Kathy Harris.
Flexible and accessible online appointments are also available, and BAPAM clinicians are skilled in ensuring that virtual consultations provide effective diagnostic assessment and treatment advice.
