With our knowledge of biomechanics and injury mechanisms we are well placed to treat injuries sustained by dancers.

Dancer's Flexible Legs and Feet

Injury and rehabilitation treatment for dancers

We have worked with a number of professional dancers, from the world of ballet and contemporary dance.

 

Dancing is just as taxing on the body as many sports and the injuries sustained are just as debilitating.

Remedial massage and soft tissue treatments are a regular part of a dancer’s regime and The Sportsphysio.com have developed a number of specialised techniques aimed at reducing strain and tension.

Rehearsal & performance

Intensity of training and tight rehearsal schedules, combined with movements that can take the joints, especially of the foot, well beyond their normal range, places great strain on soft tissues and bony structures alike.

Repeated training and performance limits the body’s healing time, often meaning that many injuries are compounded.

Understanding dancers

Here at the Sportsphysio.com, we understand the requirements of the dance techniques and the stresses of training and performance and always take this into account when designing treatment and rehabilitation programmes.

Pointe work

We can provide specific advice and exercises for pointe work and carry out pre pointe assessments.


Sports Speciality

The Sportsphysio.com has over ten years experience working with sports groups and athletes from amateur to Olympic level providing specific event support.

Striding Edge

Our unique location at the edge of the Cumbrian Lake District and only an hour away from the Scottish Highlands, means that we do a great deal of work with climbers and activity organisations in the region. Currently providing event services for Highpoint and the Olympic Delivery Authority.

Understanding a particular sport and mechanism of injury, is vital to the wellbeing of the athlete and we spend a great deal of time with professionals in many disciplines, learning the skills required and understanding the stresses and strains placed on the body.

Special experience with ballistics and archery professionals has allowed us to assist Olympic athletes to fine tune their technique to get the best from their physique and skills.

Preventative techniques are always at the forefront of our sports work and this is most evident with our involvement in motor sport, working with the driver to counteract the forces of driving at speed or in awkward conditions. We were present at symposiums for the inception of the HANS restraint system, now employed to limit head and neck injuries in F1 drivers.

We will always work closely with an injured athlete and their coach, ensuring that they can maintain their level of fitness and achieve rehabilitation within the sports specific environment.
