Dancers often experience injury due to their bodies being unable to support the positions and high loads of dance training. They are also susceptible to injuries during times of growth and increased training hours.

Our principal Physiotherapist, Frauke Tyack, is proficient in the assessment and musculoskeletal screening for dancers and is eligible to complete the tertiary dance certificate (TDC form). She is able to assess:

• pre-pointe & postural assessments
• screening assessment
• dance-focused conditioning programs and Pilates
• injury assessment & management

Early screening ensures dancers are able to reach their potential, while preventing injury. It also makes the transition to Pointe shoes safer and easier on the dancer.
