We offer a variety of dance-specific services, including Physiotherapy for Dancers.
Our staff are highly trained physiotherapists as well as former dancers. We are able to understand and accommodate for the rigorous demands of what is required of the dancer’s body.
What you can expect in an Initial Assessment and Dance Physio sessions:
All Dance Physio sessions begin with an Initial Assessement, this is a crucial appointment to create a base-line metric and measure success and progress. Initial Assessments are more comprehensive than a Physiotherapy in-take as they include dance-specific testing.
• Assessments are one-on-one, individualized and involve dance-specific testing.
• Assessments and Dance Physio appointments may include a “treatment at home program” specific to your dancer’s goals and current issues. Dancers are expected to commit to their home program and achieve specific goals before their next follow up session. This progress optimizes results and recovery, and can help prevent further injury.
• A combination of progress photos, videos and/or dance specific outcome measures are used to help track your dancer’s progress when needed.
• Upon request or as needed, written report cards may be provided for the dancer’s to pass onto their dance teachers to facilitate communication especially when a dancer is recovering from an injury.
•We strongly encourage the involvement of your dance teacher(s) in the dancer’s at-home program and recovery as we are able to communicate dance restrictions using specific dance terminology.
