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.
