Dance Physical Therapy

The love for dance can sometimes come with body aches and injuries—regardless of age. Dance physical therapy is geared to care for dancers who are experiencing pain or discomfort caused by dancing.

Summit Physical Therapy's highly trained physical therapists are experienced in rehabilitation and catering specifically to the needs of dancers. Our therapists understand the stresses a dancer places on their body and how to care for the common injuries dancers experience. Because our specialized dance physical therapists are dancers, we understand how discomforting and debilitating an injury can be and we utilize therapies, exercises, and special techniques to help you find relief, return to the activity, and avoid re-injury.

COMMON SYMPTOMS MANY DANCERS CAN EXPERIENCE ARE:

  • Foot and ankle injuries

  • Bunions and toe pain

  • Knee pain

  • Hypermobility

  • Hip pain

  • Low back pain

  • Stress fractures 

  • Arthritis

Dance is a physically demanding and repetitive activity. If you're not feeling 100%, the physical therapists at Summit Physical Therapy are here to care for you. It's also good to know that our physical therapist, Jennifer Coviello, is an accomplished dancer and has the expertise and compassion for treating dancers. 

Our goal is to help you manage your pain or discomfort, strengthen the affected area, and help you rehabilitate toward a better quality of life.

No Referral Needed

Direct access creates fewer steps between your pain and receiving the care that you need. Studies have shown that those who sought direct access from a physical therapist, rather than visiting your primary care doctor, found greater satisfaction and used significantly fewer pharmaceuticals than in the care of their physician. At your first visit, you’ll gain direct access to a physical therapist, speeding up the time between your first contact with a medical professional, and your return to improved health. During your first visit, an injury screening is offered to ensure you receive the best recommendation for your care.
