Dancer Health

Injured? We understand the unique needs of dancers and will work to keep the rest of your body conditioned while you rehabilitate an injury. 

• Early treatment helps you heal more completely and prevent future more serious injuries. Especially ankle sprains!

• Seeking care does not always mean you must miss class or a performance. In fact, our goal is to keep you on stage! Receive an action plan for concern areas to help keep your body stay safe and performing throughout the season!

​

This dance injury rehab program includes a full evaluation of your injury including differential diagnosis, static and dynamic movement assessment, and action plan including exercise prescription, manual therapy, joint mobilization, myofascial release, active release technique, instrument-assisted soft tissue massage, cupping, kinesiotape, leukotape, and modification strategies as appropriate.

Can't extend, turn, turn-out, or point the way you want despite trying "everything".

​

The fastest way to results is targeting exercises to your unique needs. Every dancer is different!

 

With the COVA Dance Skill Enhancement program, most dancers will see improvement in 6-8 weeks with consistent participation in prescribed exercises

​

Together we look at flexibility and strength at every joint on both your gesture and stance leg, then combine these to give you a foundation of athleticism for artistic creativity.

 

Some dancers need hamstring stretches, while others need calf stretches to achieve the same skill. Another dancer may be perfectly flexible, but not strong enough to bring her gesture leg into full motion.

 

You are an individual. I’m here to help with your unique movement needs!
