“8 out of 10 dancers are injured every year”
Robert Dobson, British Medical journal
The unfortunate truth is that dance has a very high injury rate. A study published in the British Medical Journal found that 80% of dancers suffered an injury that affected their ability to perform, compared with 20% of rugby players (Read the report here). But the statistics don’t have to mean that your passion for dance is sending you on a fast track to injury.
Many, many injuries I see could have been easily prevented through individualized, targeted strength training and technique corrections
Disheartened by regularly treating injuries that could have been prevented, I created my unique injury prevention program. I fully assess each dancer’s technique, areas of weakness, and any recurrent aches or pains. I then create a fully individualized training plan to fix problems before they can turn into an injury.
What you get in the Injury-Resistant Dancer Program
- << A total of 5 video-call or in-person consultations PLUS your individual training plan and unlimited follow-up support >>
- An initial video consultation of 1 hour to fully assess your kinetic chain, strength and technique, any areas of aches and pains or particular concern, and mobility restrictions.
- Your detailed, personalised program with pictures, exercise instructions, and video links (if applicable)
- A follow-up video consultation to go through the program, teach you the exercises, and discuss any questions or concerns.
- Assessment/re-assessment document – this explains how to test yourself at the start of the program and then retest at regular intervals to gauge your progress in measurable terms.
- A third video consultation 4-6 weeks after commencing your program to assess your progress, make any necessary adjustments and progressions to your program (to keep you from hitting a training plateau), and discuss any questions or concerns.
- Two further follow-up consultations to continue to progress your program as necessary and discuss any questions or concerns. These can be completed on your own timeframe, there is no expiration limit.
- Unlimited follow-up support via email FOREVER.
- Additional follow-up consultations can be purchased for the discounted rate of £20, with the discount available FOREVER.
The total cost of the package is £250. This can be made by installments with prior agreement. To arrange a payment plan, go ahead book your session, then contact me to discuss payment options. Student discount and scholarships are also available. Contact me for more details if you think you might qualify.
Consultations can be via video call, in-person at one of my two clinics, or through Physio Phoenix. For more information on video call sessions and FAQs, see my Online Dance Physiotherapy page.
