How we can help.
Let’s navigate your healing and rehab journey with clarity and confidence. Throughout the healing and training process, we’ll also emphasize ongoing education to ensure life-long lessons for the artist and human.
Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
A collaborative healing process that considers your performance goals, the physical demands of training, and most importantly, sees your human self behind the dancer.
- Healing and recovery with respect to the physical, social, and cultural demands of dance.
- Strategies to train around your injury and healing to maintain performance readiness upon return.
- Rehabilitation and healing with an emphasis in resistance training, injury-risk reduction, and advocating for personal health.
Performance Prehab Training
A training and support system emphasizing strong human foundations to reduce injury risk and fosters space for transparent health conversations.
- Support that shifts and pivots with your needs during your season.
- Build and develop athletic qualities for today’s artistic performance demand with accountability.
- Manage your strength and flexibility during periods of growth and maturation.

“No other physical therapist, even those who claim to be for dancers , gives exercises that transfer into the classroom as well as DANCE|PREHAB.”
I have never met a dance PT clinic that is so intentional, cares about their clients, and approaches health, injury, and physical therapy from a holistic and curious way.

“Don’t walk, but run to DANCE|PREHAB.”
What a wealth of knowledge I’ve learned about my body and specific tools to help myself. Performing through the pain has been my reality for so long, and focusing on keeping this body healthy has been invaluable.”
– LY, Professional Dancer
“Their approach brings a level of involvement, attention to detail and care that is well beyond what typical physical therapists offer.”
Our daughter (age 15) had a recurring knee hyperextension issue that sidelined her from her ballet training. Rob and Lizzy worked very diligently with her to get her back on the dance floor.
They really know what dancer’s need to perform at their best and every session built on the last one.
– GT, Dance Parent
They’ve given me tools to understand my body better, not just for dancing but for everyday life.
Before I found them, I was feeling pretty defeated and frustrated with dance, my life and field of work. I’m not just recovering physically; mentally and emotionally, I’m in a much better place.
– JA, Collegiate Dancer
