Welcome To ISSTIP, The International Society for the Study of Tension in Performance


We are a UK originated organisation with active members worldwide.
ISSTIP aims to study and enhance awareness on the various physical and psychological problems of the performing artists.

ISSTIP provides its work through seminars and conferences, regular publications, courses, research and specialised clinics.

ISSTIP's greatest concern is the increased number of performers around the world who are suffering from physical or physiological dysfunctions.. Musicians who may have experienced disorders or injuries such as repetition strain injury, tendonitis, focal dystonia, depression or performance anxiety as well as problems involving voice, hearing or joints can get assistance.  We can help you come to terms with the causes for these conditions such as, stress, over working, unhealthy tehnique or wrong posture as well as other factors that are easily overlooked.

It is with great regret we announce the passing away of our distinguished friend and founder Carola Grindea. Please read her obituary here: Daily Telegraph. We will all miss her.

ISSTIP is a UK Registered Charity No 328203
