Our Approach

We believe everyone has a performer within, from the musician, professional dancer and football player to the lighting crew and sound check team. We all strive for our own level of perfection and we know that the first step to excellence doesn’t start on the stage. At Performance Medicine, we support people of all walks of life and ability to find their level. Our leading performance medical specialists engrains a culture of total recovery and rejuvenation that doesn’t simply focus on one thing or serves up an instant cookie-cutter solution. We take time to listen, understand and create a holistic programme to realign the performer with the performance of their lifetime.

Dance Physiotherapy Workshops

We strongly believe Knowledge is power. A strong healthy dancing body empowers performance. At Performance Medicine we provide performance optimisation workshops so that each and every artist can stay strong and healthy. We love to collaborate with Dance schools and colleges where we can create a bespoke workshop specific for your schools needs and requirements. At such we introduce safe dance practices, recovery techniques and body care techniques that can be incorporated on a daily basis. We can also provide profiling of your student group and identify key areas where there are opportunities to increase strength and dance technique.

One of our most popular workshops is our expert ballet wellness workshop, where we partner with our Dance Doctor, Dr Kathy Yu, to provide a full day educational and practical workshop and 1:1 chat with our doctor so that your dancers can start the year understanding better how their body works and knowing they have support from an expert team by their side. Each tailored workshop for Dancers and performers can help them to achieve their exceptional performance, time after time. Some of our workshops include:
