Dancer & Gymnast Workshops
We have a goal to make physical therapy and injury prevention accessible.
This free workshop is offered throughout the year. Each workshop will focus on a specific area of concern, such as knee pain or back pain, with guidance from our physical therapists.
This workshop’s intended audience: gymnasts and dancers, ages 8-18, who are currently participating in competition or performance.
What this workshop includes:
30 minutes of education: We believe it’s important for dancers and gymnasts to understand their body and the root cause of their aches and pains. By understanding anatomy, reasons for common injuries, ways to improve movement habits, and areas to strengthen, we know that participants will be able to better take care of themselves.
30 minutes of evaluation: Gymnasts and dancers will participate in a group discussion led by a PT, during which participants will receive tips, movement solutions, and next steps.
Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to prevent one, this workshop is an opportunity to enhance your performance and longevity in dance and gymnastics.
