Common Dance Issues:

Dance Medicine services

  1. Injury Rehab: Whether it’s an ankle sprain, muscle strain or stress fracture, having a physical therapist who knows the specific vocabulary, class structures and performance requirements is a must. Our dance medicine PTs will craft a personalized recovery plan that avoids the pitfalls of rushing back too soon or delaying your return unnecessarily.

  2. Hypermobility Management: Our dance medicine physical therapists will empower you to manage your hypermobility and use it for good! You will learn to protect your joints and build control so you can dance safely for a lifetime.

  3. Performance Optimization: You will learn about effective warm-up and cool down programs, proper fueling and hydration and sleep optimization. Dialing these in will help you achieve your full potential and prevent injury.

  4. Pilates Conditioning: Our dance medicine physical therapists are comprehensively trained in Pilates conditioning, and our clinics have top of the line Pilates equipment to use in your treatments. Pilates is an ideal cross training method for dancers, because it allows you to develop strength and flexibility in tandem, thus reducing injury risk.

  5. Pointe Readiness Screenings: As a parent, it can be scary not knowing if it’s safe for your young, growing dancer to go on pointe. We offer tests that can give you confidence that your dancer is ready or reveal what she still needs to work on to prepare to go on pointe. We’ll take the uncertainty out of this process.
