Healing that understands the demands of your art.
A detailed assessment, a clear plan, and care built around what your body actually needs to return to training, performance, and sustainability.
As dancers ourselves, we know the details matter.
Our own years in studios, on stages, and in the clinic continue to teach us that your pain as a dancer is unique to you and your demand. Technique, choreography, and performance schedules all change what we look for and how we treat it.
That’s why every session at DANCE|PREHAB considers how you actually train, so the plan we build back to the stage still holds up once you’re there.
Things you won’t hear from us.
Dance culture has a long history of dismissing pain. We’re working to change that, one conversation at a time.
We don’t ask you to give up the thing that defines you. We look for a path that keeps you moving, even while healing.
Dancing through pain has long been treated as a sign of dedication. We don’t ask you to prove your commitment by ignoring what your body is telling you.
Pain in dance is common, but common doesn’t mean it should be dismissed. We take what you’re feeling seriously, even if it doesn’t show up on a scan.

Care that begins by listening to your story.
Dancers and families often tell us we treat the whole picture, not just the injury. We see the artist, the training schedule, and the pressure to get back on stage.
Through detailed movement assessments, manual therapy, and progressive strength and loading built around your technique, we help you understand what’s actually driving your pain, and build a path back to full training with confidence.
So, where do we start?
A real conversation about your injury. What’s been going on? What have you tried? No commitment required. You leave with clarity on what’s driving your pain and a clear path forward built around your goals.
Not just the site of pain. We assess strength, power, range of motion, and movement quality to find what’s actually holding you back. You walk out of your first session with a plan and exercises already in hand.
Your injury AND everything around it. We address your healing directly while keeping the rest of your body strong and performance-ready. As you heal, we’ll help maintain your capacity. You come back better.

- Our goal is to evaluate your injury and understand the full picture, so healing, performance, and long-term support can stay connected.
- Dance-specific testing helps us build a clearer return plan. We look at how your body is tolerating load, how movement quality is changing, and what steps make sense next.
- We assess what your body has to do in class, rehearsal, and performance, and whether you are truly prepared for that return.
- We help create better communication with your teachers and directors by providing more specific language around progress, limitations, and readiness.
- Your program is built around dance-specific demands and your underlying capacity as an athlete, not just the injury site.
- Where appropriate, we modify rather than remove. The goal is to keep you moving and training in safe ways, so you don’t start from zero later.
- While we work through your injury, we also preserve strength, coordination, stamina, and confidence throughout the rest of your body.
- We actively prevent deconditioning, protecting the physical qualities that still matter for training and performance.
