If I am injured, is it advisable to attend a retraining workshop?

That depends on the nature and extent of the injury. If it is a playing-related problem such as tendonitis, muscle strain or carpal tunnel syndrome, it is best to speak with your health care professional about the wisdom of any activity involving the injured area. In many cases, retraining in the fundamental stages (reducing stress on the injured area, release of chronic muscle tension, and moving into a more neutral and balanced alignment) will help the healing process. In all cases, I arrive at an appropriate plan for retraining after lengthy discussion with you and your teacher (if you have one) in consultation with your health-care providers.
