Early intervention can help you recover from pain that keeps you from progressing in your art. Our one-on-one evaluation sessions put you into the care of an expert performing arts physical therapist who will give you a custom plan to get you safely back up on your feet…and keep you there.

Do you have an injury or pain that limits your ability to perform? 

• Our performing arts specialist will perform a comprehensive evaluation that includes dance-specific assessments. From there, she will educate you on the findings and develop a customized plan to get you back on stage.
• All sessions are fully one-on-one with our Performing Arts Physical Therapist.
• No script needed for up to 8 visits.

The best injuries are the ones you don’t sustain in the first place. This one-hour session gives you instant feedback on form, joint control, balance, and more. You’ll leave empowered with the tools you need to avoid injuries and be a stronger performer.

The Injury Prevention and Wellness Screening is an 1-hour comprehensive assessment performed by our performing arts specialist.
