Dance Medicine Program
Dance is a passion and an art.
Having pain or tightness doesn’t have to get in the way of that. At our clinic, we perform focused biomechanical assessments to identify areas of overload, underload, or tension. Regardless of whether you have an injury, want to address that nagging “tightness,” or just want higher extensions or stronger turns, we focus on helping you stay moving.
Our Approach
At our clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to help dancers get the most out of their craft. A former dancer herself, Jessica combines her physical therapy expertise with her knowledge of dance to help minimize your pain and maximize your dance technique, even while you’re in season. We focus on addressing biomechanical deficits through movement analysis tailored to your primary style, specific exercises, as well as manual therapy and recovery techniques. Through a treatment program that addresses Balance, Mobility, Power, Synergy, and Strength, every aspect of your technique will be addressed.

We understand that each client’s case is as different as their dance style. That’s why we develop a personalized plan that takes into account your specific injury, your goals, and your current level of fitness. Our physical therapist will work with you to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs and goals, and that takes into account your unique limitations and/ or challenges.

Our Dance Medicine Program doesn’t end when your treatment sessions are over. We provide ongoing support to help you maintain your progress and continue to improve your craft. Our physical therapist will work with you to develop a home exercise program that will contribute to further gains beyond your in clinic sessions. We also provide ongoing education and resources to help you stay healthy and avoid future injuries.
At our clinic, we are committed to helping dancers reach their full potential in mobility and strength. We understand that functional strength positively impacts your preparation and performance and directly translates to a pain-free, active life beyond the dance studio. Our dance medicine program is designed to help you move better and prevent future injury.
An opportunity to develop rapport, trust, and unified goals of rehabilitation. Time and health-care dollars are rewardingly spent, with the intention of focused outcomes desired by both the patients and physical therapists who are trying to restore the good reputation of successful preventative—and recovery-based care.
Improve your craft.
