Dance Injury assessment & Treatment

 

Don’t let an injury be the one thing that prevents you from reaching your full dance potential

– the right treatment can mean a full recovery as well as teaching you how to decrease the chance of re-injury.

With the right treatment and exercise program you can take back control of your body and progress towards an even better dance experience. We often see dancers and gymnasts who are finding they just can’t quite achieve a certain stretch or dance move because they feel a restriction or lack of flexibility.

Our Dance therapists will assess your whole body and determine whether this lack of ease in movement is due to a lack of flexibility, or biomechanical, or due to muscle imbalances that require specific attention so that you can reach your full potential.
