A thorough biomechanical assessment forms the foundation of our approach. Our podiatrists will assess your gait, joint mobility, muscle strength, and flexibility to identify any imbalances or abnormalities. By understanding your unique biomechanics, we can create personalized treatment plans and provide recommendations to enhance your dance technique.

3. Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation

If you're recovering from a dance-related injury or undergoing rehabilitation, our podiatrists will design a tailored rehabilitation program to help you regain strength, stability, and flexibility. We utilize various techniques such as manual therapies, exercises, and orthotics to support your recovery journey.

4. Footwear Analysis and Recommendations

The right footwear is essential for dancers to optimize performance and reduce the risk of foot and ankle problems. Our podiatrists are well-versed in analyzing dance shoes and can provide expert guidance on selecting the most appropriate footwear for your specific dance style and foot structure.

In some cases, custom orthotics may be necessary to address foot imbalances or correct biomechanical issues. Our podiatrists have significant experience in designing and prescribing custom orthotics to ensure proper foot alignment, reduce strain, and optimize your overall performance.

6. Foot Care Guidance

Proper foot care is vital for dancers to maintain healthy and happy feet. Our podiatrists will provide you with practical guidance on foot hygiene, blister prevention, callus management, and nail care. We believe that taking care of your feet should be an integral part of your dance routine.
