Dance Therapy
A dancer moves like no other athlete. The precision, flexibility and repetition of dancers' movements make them particularly vulnerable to injury. They also require a unique approach to treatment and recovery so dancers can recover quickly without losing learned techniques or muscle memory.
Stephanie Foresi MSPT, specializes in treating dancers of all backgrounds and abilities, from recreational to pre-professional athletes in classical ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, tap and competitive dance. Member of the International Association of Dance Medicine & Science. See Concierge PT pricing.
Injury Prevention Assessment
The injury prevention assessment program offers individual studios the option to have their dancers' assessed before dance injuries occur. A physical therapist will meet with the dancer, and evaluate the alignment, strength and flexibility, as well as assessing functional dance positions and moves.
At the end of the assessment, your licensed clinician provides you with an individually tailored exercise regimen that includes recommendations for technique modification, training strategies, and footwear that can reduce the risk of injury. We offer individual in-person visits at F.I.T in Southington CT.
