Dance performance demands strength, control, and precision, not just flexibility

At our clinic, we combine movement analysis, strength training, and performance-focused rehabilitation to help dancers move efficiently, perform at a higher level, and reduce injury risk.

Whether you’re preparing for auditions, managing an injury, or building long-term resilience, our approach is designed around the specific physical demands of dance including turnout, balance, landing mechanics, mobility, and full-body strength.

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • Dancers experiencing pain, stiffness, or recurring injuries

  • Feeling limited in turnout, balance, or control

  • Preparing for auditions, performances, or increased training demands

  • Returning to dance after injury or time off

  • Wanting to improve performance while reducing injury risk

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Most rehab stops at general strength or table-based treatment.

Most training programs don’t account for the specific demands of dance.

We combine movement analysis, strength training, and performance-focused rehabilitation to help dancers move efficiently, perform at a higher level, and stay healthy long-term.

Our approach is built around the unique demands of dance including turnout, balance, landing mechanics, mobility, and full-body control.

What your plan may include

  • Dance-specific movement analysis

  • Turnout control and hip stability training

  • Balance and single-leg control development

  • Strength and mobility asymmetry correction

  • Jump and landing mechanics training

  • Core strength and dynamic stability work

  • Performance programming aligned with rehearsals and performance schedules

COMMON CONDITIONS WE HELP WITH

  • Hip pain and labral injuries

  • Snapping hip

  • Achilles tendinopathy and calf strains

  • Foot and ankle injuries (sprains, fractures, os trigonum)

  • Stress reactions and stress fractures

  • Knee pain

  • Low back pain

  • Turnout limitations or asymmetries

  • Balance and single-leg stability deficits

  • Jumping and landing mechanics issues

  • Overuse injuries related to training volume

objective testing

Dance performance requires precise control, strength, and symmetry.

We use objective movement analysis and performance testing to evaluate how you generate and control movement during dance-specific tasks.

This allows us to identify limitations, asymmetries, and injury risk factors that may impact performance.

You’ll receive clear insights and targeted recommendations to guide your training and improve both performance and longevity.
