For Dancers
Dance Therapy /Movement Enhancement
A dancer moves like no other athlete. The precision, flexibility and repetition of dancers’ movements make them particularly vulnerable to injury. They also require a unique approach to treatment and recovery so dancers can recover quickly without losing learned techniques or muscle memory.
Stephanie Foresi MSPT — with 29 years of experience in Movement Analysis/High Level Training Advancement — specializes in treating/training dancers of all backgrounds and abilities, from recreational to pre-professional athletes in classical ballet, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, tap and competitive dance. Member of the International Association of Dance Medicine & Science, Doctors For Dancers. See Concierge PT pricing.
