JULY2026 | THE DANCE EDUCATOR AND THE DANCE HEALTH ECOSYSTEM | MORE INFO HERE
Physical therapy for dancers and artistic athletes recovering from pain, injury, and return-to-performance demands.
Healing that blends your artistry as a mover, your performance as an athlete, and your experience as a human.
When Generic Rehab Misses the Realities of Performing Arts
You deserve physical therapy that understands not just injury, but the realities of culture, training, performance, and return.
Cleared for daily life is not the same as ready for class, rehearsal, and performance.
High athletic demand and hypermobility change how pain shows up. Generic care misses that.
No pain doesn’t mean you have the coordination, force, or confidence to perform.

Find clarity after your first session
Not just the injury, but supporting the whole athlete
- Looking beyond the site of pain to how the rest of your body is moving and compensating
- Maintain strength and capacity throughout healing
- Addressing what’s contributing to the injury, not just where it hurts
Consideration for your technique, capacity, artistry, and the people around your training
- Combining the technical demands of dance with a sports-informed strength approach, built for dance’s specific demands
- Shared language with you, your teachers, and your directors so progress and readiness are never a guessing game
Movement that’s tracked, not just symptoms that are managed
- Objective testing alongside how you feel in the studio
- Adjustments made as your body and your season change
Tailored to your training demands as you return to dance with care and intention
- Updates and adjustments between sessions, not just during them
- A plan that evolves with your rehearsal schedule, performance weeks, and training load
Moving toward performance, not just away from pain.
Understanding your injury means understanding your choreography too. We break down the actual movement and steps your body has to execute, so we can see exactly what it’s being asked to do, and build your plan around that reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t find your answer below, contact us and we’ll do our best to get you one.
We work with dancers, athletes, and movement-driven humans of all levels — from pre-professional to recreational. Our focus is helping movers return to what they love with clarity, confidence, and sustainable strength.
Not a dancer? We can still help! →
- Real assessment, not a checklist. We test load tolerance and movement quality, not just where it hurts.
- Programming built for dance. Your plan reflects what dance demands, not just the injury. We modify rather than remove, so you keep training.
- The rest of your body keeps working. While you heal, we protect strength and stamina everywhere else.
- Shared language with your training environment. We give you, your teachers, and your directors clear terms for progress, limitations, and readiness.
Yes, we do. We offer virtual solutions for physical therapy if location is a barrier to receiving care. If you’re out of state, we’re happy to offer virtual consults to help guide your journey with your local healthcare providers.
In the state of California, you do not need a medical doctor’s referral to start physical therapy. You’re allowed to see a physical therapist without a doctor’s prescription for 12 visits or 45 days, whichever comes first. The start date is that of your initial visit.
Please make an appointment with your primary care provider in the event your plan of care extends beyond this period.
We operate as an out-of-network provider to prioritize quality and continuity of care. This means we can devote a full hour to you without overlapping appointments. We provide superbills for insurance reimbursement and accept FSA/HSA payments.
We require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee of $50.00 to the card on file.
For evaluations specifically, a same-day cancellation is charged 50% of the evaluation rate ($215.00), billed to the card on file.
Your appointment time is reserved just for you — a late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapist’s day that could have been filled by another family or dancer in need.
Healthy dance culture starts with shared language.
We extend our care beyond the clinic — with workshops, learning modules, and educator programs designed for studios, schools, and pre-professional programs.
