Dance Physiotherapy at Performance Medicine – We Get It.

Our team have extensive experience and a passion for Dance and the Performing Arts. We understand all styles of dance from ballet and contemporary to hip hop, ballroom and latin. Our expert dance physiotherapists in both Melbourne and Sydney are here to help with injury prevention, injury management and any aches, pains or discomfort.

Dance Physiotherapy – Because Knowledge is Power and Prevention is Better than Cure.

At Performance Medicine we understand that in may cases, the show must go on. We lean into creative solutions to help keep you in the studio and rehearsal room.

The physio and massage team at Performance Medicine have worked in the Performing Arts Industry for almost 20 years. We are experts in the ins and outs of the industry and believe in strong bodies for sustainable careers. We are dedicated to supporting performers so that they can put on their best show.

We are passionate about working at a grass roots level. All of our therapists have experience working with dance schools and their students. We regularly present education sessions and interactive workshops for schools to support them developing our young dancers and performers. Our most popular workshops include injury prevention, performance optimisation, and dance health through the different ages and stages.

When dance students attend Performance Medicine, they receive a thorough assessment, individualised treatment program and most importantly an injury prevention program. Together with targeted prevention programs and performance protocols our physiotherapy team is here to support dancers and performers.

We are the Australian Music Theatre experts. We have over 16 years of experience working with professional dance shows in Australia and supporting companies and producers and so we understand the legislative requirements and nuances within the Australian marketplace. We work closely with dancers, teachers, choreographers, company managers and producers to look at every element to optimise a safe environment. We ensure that dancers are given the best conditions to deliver the performance of a lifetime and producers can put on their best show night after night. We can provide onsite physiotherapy services and also consult to provide preventative advice and education around the many aspects of the show including sustainability of potential costumes and footwear designs, loading in rehearsals and recovery strategies once the show is up and running.
