Dance injuries
Artistry that asks a lot of the body.
Dance combines extreme ranges of motion with strength, balance and repetition, often through long rehearsal and competition seasons. Many injuries develop gradually from load rather than a single incident.
Dancers need rehab that respects technique and keeps them training where possible.
Feet & ankles
Ankle sprains, posterior ankle impingement, flexor hallucis longus tendinopathy and stress reactions.
Hips & knees
Snapping hip, labral irritation, hip flexor strain and patellofemoral pain.
Spine
Low back pain from repeated extension and lifts, and stress injuries in young dancers.
How we help
Keep dancing, safely.
- Assessment of alignment, turnout and technique demands
- Hands-on treatment and symptom management
- Strength and control for turnout, jumps and landings
- Load management through rehearsal and competition
- Graded return to pointe, jumps and full classes
- Communication with instructors when helpful
What to expect
Back on stage.
We plan around your schedule, adjusting class and rehearsal load so you can recover without losing conditioning.
Return is staged, with specific movement criteria before full technique, jumps or pointe work.
Common questions
Good to know.
Do you treat young dancers?
Yes. Growing dancers have specific needs, and we involve parents and instructors in the plan.
Can I keep training?
Often yes, with modifications. We will help you decide what to keep and what to pause.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. You can book directly with our physiotherapist. Some extended health plans ask for a referral before they reimburse, so it is worth checking your policy.
Do you direct bill insurance?
Yes, we direct bill many extended health providers and handle WCB and motor vehicle accident claims. Our front desk can confirm your coverage when you book.
