THE DANCE CLINIC- by Highett Podiatry
Kirstine Mann and Sophie Young have extensive ballet training and many years of podiatric practice, making them the first choice for managing dance injuries of the lower limb. They work closely with dancers and their teachers to provide expert care and a holistic approach to a dancer’s foot health and overall well-being.
You can find out more about our dance podiatry services at www.thedanceclinic.com.au.
Come into the clinic for your Pre Pointe-Assessments or, if you are injured, we can diagnose, treat and prescribe a ‘Return to Dance’ program with a focus on correcting dance mechanics, technique and posture.
Pre Pointe Assesments
For ballet dancers looking to commence dancing en pointe to ensure they are safe to make this transition. We use an evidence-based assessment program evaluating aspects of the dancer’s technique, strength, control, posture, flexibility, and maturity.
Our program also offers ongoing support for those already dancing en pointe to maintain optimal foot and lower limb health.
Dance Injury Management
The Dance Clinic understands, respects, and is sympathetic to the demands of the art.
We pay particular attention to the dancer’s mindset and treat injuries accordingly with the utmost care to support their rehabilitation. We customise our rehabilitation programs as part of a ‘Return to Dance’ plan in collaboration with the dancer and teacher.
