"What is DANCE|PREHAB?"
Through rehab and prehab, we aim to elevate the artist-athlete through education and application of physical health knowledge. Let us fill in the gaps between the arts and the science in your movement practice.
As dancers, educators, and physical therapists, we know that awareness and attention to physical health and wellness does not have to begin with injury.
Before we are dancers, we are human. At DANCE|PREHAB, let's build strong foundations to elevate your artistry and prolong your career.

"DANCE|PREHAB has helped me stay on top of my game and build strength during this period of quarantine and isolation. I look forward to taking this knowledge with me as I transition back into the performance space."

"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."
LANI Y.

"I have endless gratitude for Rob and his mentorship in my life. My past training had always been framed around how to prevent further injury of my hip, and I never even thought to think bigger. It's been unbelievably refreshing to not be chained down to old injuries and train with new intentions."
LEXI Z.
Chapman University

“DANCE|PREHAB has furthered knowledge of my body, revealing new ways of thinking and moving that has increased my body awareness as I dance. I am especially grateful for the specificity provided to work towards my future goals as both a dancer and a human.”

"As a dancer who has experienced many physical therapists, I am extremely grateful to have found a practice that is familiar not only with the physicality of a dancer, but the mental and emotional side as well. As a patient, I felt cared for, listened to, and understood..."
