Specialized Dance Musculoskeletal Therapy and Pre-Pointe Assessments
As a Musculoskeletal Therapist and Myotherapist, I understand the unique demands placed on dancers' bodies. My specialized Dance Injury Management Programs and Pre-Pointe Assessments are designed to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and ensure a long, healthy dance career.
