TRAIN FOR
LONGEVITY IN DANCE
Injury prevention isn’t about avoiding movement. It’s about preparing your body to handle it.
While we can’t 100% prevent injury, there is a lot we can do to reduce the risk and keep you dancing longer, stronger, and more confidently.
​
At Performance Pilates & Rehab, our approach to dance injury prevention combines strength training and movement education to help dancers understand how to move well, not just for a season, but for a lifetime. Whether you are currently training, preparing for performance, or navigating recurring discomfort, we focus on building a body that can support the demands of dance.
​
Every session is one-on-one and tailored to your unique needs, so you feel supported, educated, and confident in how you move.
YOUR FIRST SESSION
​​
We start by understanding how your body moves and where it may be at risk. Your first appointment will include:
-
A discussion of your dance schedule, goals, and training demands
-
A thorough movement assessment
-
Strength and stability testing
-
Mobility and flexibility screening
-
Dance-specific movement analysis
-
Review of any current or past injuries
HOW WE HELP
​
Our goal is to address the root causes of overuse and help your body better handle repetitive demands.
​
We provide:
-
Individualized strength training to support your technique and training load
-
Education on healthy movement patterns specific to dance
-
Progressive loading to build resilience in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones
-
Strategies to reduce overuse and repetitive stress
-
Ongoing support based on your training and performance schedule
WHY IT MATTERS
​
Research shows that 95% of dance injuries come from overuse and repetitive stress, not single events. That means the way you train, recover, and move every day matters.
​
Injury prevention helps:
-
Reduce the risk of overuse injuries
-
Support longevity in dance
-
Increase confidence in your body’s ability to perform
