Dancing seems effortless and fluid, but the dancer knows the intense physicality behind every movement. At Nicali Sports Medicine, we understand the unique challenges that dancers face. We help performers maintain their body’s harmony while pushing artistic boundaries.
The Dancer’s Body
A dancer’s body requires superior flexibility and strength. However, frequent practice, repetitive movement, and demanding routines tend to cause imbalances. Imbalance tends to create injuries, which can develop when an area has to work too hard to compensate for another area. Getting the right support prevents these problems before they start to affect your performance.
Common Dancer Challenges
Most dancers we see suffer from a similar list of issues. Lower back strains from lifting and extending, issues with the foot and ankles from working in pointe shoes, or hip pain from achieving turnout. These aren’t just annoyances-they can end a dancer’s career if left unchecked.
