Progressing onto pointe is an exciting time for any ballet dancer but is also a time where care should be taken to ensure the transition is safe and injury free. Pointe work is more than having strong ankles and feet; its about looking at the dancer as a whole.
Our resident dance physio Nicole has undergone specific training to assess and manage:
All dance assessments are 45 minutes in length and by the end of the session the dancers and parents will have a thorough understanding of what is required to commence pointe safely. A home exercise program will be provided to complete if the dancer is not ready. Once the assessment has been passed a letter of approval will be provided to your dance teacher.
At Sydney Physio Group, we believe in getting you back to your full potential as quickly as possible. Our highly skilled and passionate physios will work with you to achieve your goals, no matter how big or small.
