Dance Physiotherapy
We have clinics in Narrabeen and Newport
We accept all major health funds, DVA, and WorkCover.
Dance Physiotherapy requires a unique understanding of the demands of dance and the different requirements of each style of dance.
Treatment of dance injuries can be complex, and rehabilitation needs to be specific to not only the individual but the style of dance being performed.
Injuries that are not treated or rehabilitated properly have a high chance of affecting a dancers’ ability to perform at their best.

Pre-Pointe Assessments
Pre-Pointe Assessments
Going up en pointe is a rite of passage for any young dancer and while this time is extremely exciting it also must be understood that this is not a normal function of the human body especially the foot.
Having a pre-pointe assessment allows any deficiencies in control, strength and mobility to be identified and addressed so that young dancers can progress through without any risks or serious injury.
Biomechanical assessment of how the body moves as a whole is critical when starting en pointe!
What Is Involved
Assessment of foot flexibility/ control, core control, turnout range/ strength and general flexibility.
A written report that summarises what was found in the assessment that is communicated with teachers and coaches.
Individualised program of exercises to help improve key areas
You’ll be doing those fouettés in no time!!
