Physiotherapy for Dancers Calgary NW

Hello there, I’m Sarah, a self-proclaimed anatomy nerd, performing arts enthusiast, and dancer turned physiotherapist. I am the jack of all trades of dance, having dabbled in a variety of dance styles including hip-hop, lyrical, jazz, waltz, tango, swing, blues, salsa, meringue, and pole dance. Whether you dance professionally or as a fun way to move your body, my extensive experience and exposure to various styles of dance combined with my rehabilitation knowledge means I am well-suited to help you address any issues getting in the way of your dancing. You can be sure I will either be familiar with your dance style or I will research it to ensure I fully understand its demands. Don’t hesitate to book in with me and together, we can develop a plan to support your individual dance needs.

Fun fact: My dance and acrobatics background is what led me to become a physiotherapist!

My dream job as a child was to perform in Cirque du Soleil as an acrobat, so when I tried pole fitness as an adult I knew this was my chance to work on achieving similar feats of strength and flexibility while incorporating the musicality of dance. Anybody who has attended an intro class or an extra fun bachelorette party can attest to the strength and coordination required for the most basic pole moves but what sticks in your mind is just how fun it is! It was my amazing instructors who first introduced me to more advanced training techniques, techniques I later learned about in depth when studying physiotherapy! This introduction to specialized training is what made me want to dedicate my career to the study of the movement as a physiotherapist.
