Resource Package - Rehabilitation for Dancers
This course includes
Overview:
Did you know that dancers are at high risk of injury? Did you know that some of these injuries are preventable?
In fact, 95% of dancers will experience pain or an injury within each and every year they participate in dance. Up to 91% of all injuries will be to the lower extremities (that’s your hips, legs, ankles and feet).
There is strong evidence that neuromuscular training and strengthening can help decrease injury, improve performance and improve movement mechanics.
There is also evidence that strengthening can help improve flexibility in a safe and effective manner!
Dance Medicine is a branch of sports medicine dedicated to the specific athletic needs of performing artists. This resource package includes access to professional quality video exercises geared toward your patients who participate in dance as well as other artistic sports (gymnastics, artistic swimming, etc.).
We have compiled exercises we often use in the clinic with this population to improve neuromuscular control, posture, strength, mobility, turn out and balance. Every exercise includes verbal cues used by dance medicine experts to help improve proprioception and body awareness for your patients.
What's Included:
- A review of the 5 ballet positions with correct alignment and cueing
- 46 patient exercises
- Lifetime access to the exercises
- BONUS! An easy access link to a 60+ minute webinar recording that Dinah Hampson & Geneviève Renaud delivered on May 7 2020 called 'Introduction to Assessing & Treating Dancers and Artistic Athletes'. *Please note - The same webinar link is provided in each Pivot Dancer resource package and this webinar is available for FREE in Embodia.
