DANCE MEDICINE

Dancers and other performing artists have a unique set of diagnoses and challenges when they are injured.  Many injuries and faulty movement patterns are often missed or misdiagnosed by health professionals that are not acquainted with the movements and the physical demands of the dancer.  A dance medicine specialist understands these unique demands and is able to evaluate, assess and instruct on correcting dance technique and biomechanics that are contributing to injury.

Sarah was a founding member of the Minnesota Dance Medicine Foundation and is familiar with a variety of dance styles and their associated common injuries.  She occasionally works as a emergency physical therapist for dancers/dance companies on tour in Minnesota and has spoken on a variety of dance medicine subjects locally at different dance schools, workshops and conferences.
