Each Sport places its own specific stress on the body. Injuries often occur when general fitness levels are not sufficient, progressions made too quickly, muscle imbalance exists or neuromuscular coordination is not accurate.

We are highly experienced in the assessment and management of sports related injuries considering stability, mobility, posture, body awareness and balance. We conduct thorough assessments to identify the issue and help to progress your recovery back to your pre-injury sport level.

Dancers are elite athletes combining extreme strength with extreme flexibility and endurance. Their intense training, which usually starts at a young age before skeletal maturity, can result in a wide range of injuries from overuse to direct trauma.

It is important that a dancer’s physiotherapist understands their training, the different dance genres and the strength and flexibility required. Liaison with their dance teachers is crucial.

Screening and assessment can assist in injury prevention, early detection of an injury can speed recovery, correct treatment, advice on rehabilitation and return to dance all facilitates recovery.

Jane Hay’s dance training to a semi professional level gives her this insight and a knowledge of dance.
