How many dancers get reoccurring injuries or even have to stop their career or hobby in dance early because of it? Do you identify yourself in this statement?
How many times a week do you go through a recovery routine to keep you healthy and pain-free? Do you have a burning sensation in your heels after every class you do?
There are some easy treatments that can be used when you are having a day off from training. Tennis balls are a brilliant tool to target the irritation of discomfort in the feet. Getting regular massages to ease out the fascia lines and muscles and help the body to realign after a possible injury. A postural check can be done to see how much you weigh bear on one side of the body. Anterior/posterior tilts of the pelvis can cause extensive amounts of pain and muscle tightness in the back or hamstrings as an example.
As a dance instructor, I see and have experienced injuries, some lasting just a few days, some a few years. Getting trained in Sports Therapy and Sports Massage Therapy on top of my dance career has given me a huge benefit of understanding the demands of dancers and what their body goes through, in addition to how common it is not to receive proper treatment before the injury has become chronic.
Whether it is a case of Plantar fascitis, a sprain in the ankle or possible a muscle strain I am here to help. We can go through the mechanism of injury, daily dance timetable (discussing load on the body), treatments, rehabilitation program and goals.
