From Studio to Stage: Physio That Understands Movement

Artistic athletes demand strength, flexibility, and control. Our physiotherapy is tailored to the unique needs of dancers, gymnasts, skaters, and performers across every discipline. From overuse injuries to acute strains, we combine clinical expertise with an appreciation of both performance and artistry.

Rehabilitation That Respects Technique

We know how important it is for dancers to return safely to movement and the stage without compromising their artistry. Our dance physiotherapy programs go beyond standard rehab by rebuilding strength, stability, and mobility in ways that reflect the unique movement patterns of your style. This means recovery is not just about healing the body but also about protecting years of technical training and ensuring you can perform with confidence. You return to dance without losing the foundations of your craft.

Injury Prevention and Performance Support

Our work isn’t just about injury care. Through screening, strength training, and mobility programming, we help dancers reduce injury risk, improve technique efficiency, and build the strength required for demanding choreography or pointe work.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of injuries do you treat?

We treat sprains, strains, tendon conditions, stress reactions, acute injuries, and the overuse concerns that often arise in dance, gymnastics, skating, aerial performance, and other artistic disciplines. Artistic athletes also seek our support for issues such as persistent back pain, dance specific strength and conditioning support, and challenges in managing hypermobility. Our services are designed not only to guide recovery but also to address the technical and physical demands unique to each discipline.

Can dance physio help with pointe preparation?

Yes. We hold pre-pointe assessments and strengthening programs to ensure dancers meet the requirements for safe progression.

Do you work with both professional and recreational dancers?

Absolutely. We support advanced or professional performers, students, and beginners of all ages, tailoring care to your level and goals.

Can you help improve my technique and control?

Yes. We focus on strength, mobility, and movement mechanics to help you dance more efficiently and reduce strain.

How is dance physio different from general physio?

Dance physiotherapy is designed for the unique needs of dancers and other artistic athletes. Unlike general physio, it considers the flexibility, control, and precision required in disciplines such as ballet, contemporary, gymnastics, skating, and aerial performance. Recovery is guided by the movement patterns and technical demands of each art form, ensuring you return safely without losing the foundations of your craft.
