What to expect
Initial Evaluation
What will we do?
We will begin by discussing your story, including your dance history and goals as well as the history of your injury or concern. I will then take you through a general movement assessment followed by a more specific assessment of the body region; this will also include dance-specific assessments as we begin exploring the relationship between your dance technique and what you're experiencing.
How long is it?
Evaluation are 60 minutes, one-on-one.
How often will I come back?
After our evaluation, we will decide together the frequency and duration of your plan of care and begin treatment that very day.
What should I wear?
Clothes that are comfortable to move in! It is also helpful to see the skin of the body region in question, such as by wearing pants that can be rolled up or shorts and a sports bra or leotard.
*Masks are optional, and if you're wearing one I will too.
What should I bring?
Please bring any relevant reports or documentation from your doctor visits and imaging.
Do I need a referral?
No, you don't; just come on in!
Pricing: $150 for initial evaluation
$450 for evaluation + 4 follow-up visits package (equivalent of 1 free visit!)
*scholarship options available, please inquire
Follow-ups
What is the purpose for follow-up visits?
We will use a series of interventions and assessments as we address your goals and concerns, continuously building upon our insights from the evaluation. You will leave every session with a specifically designed home exercise program. In this way, we can progress you safely back to dancing without limitations.
How long is it?
Follow-ups are also 60 minutes, and the entire session will be with me!
What treatment techniques might I experience?
corrective exercises designed specifically for you
strengthening and range of motion exercises
balance exercises and other neuromuscular re-education techniques
dance technique modification and drills
soft tissue mobilization manually and instrument assisted
joint mobilization and manipulation
a close consideration of any modifications needed in your dance participation and a careful return-to-dance progression
plenty of education to empower you to take better care of yourself
How many follow-ups will I need?
We will make a plan based on your specific concerns and the results of our evaluation, and then continue to assess your function and concerns each visit and adapt our plan as needed.
Pricing: $100 for 60-minute follow-up
$50 for a 30-minute check-in session
Injury Prevention Program
Why wait until you are injured to intervene? I offer maintenance options so that we can address any concerns or questions before they become problems. The format of these sessions is similar to the rehabilitation sessions, described above, however with a greater focus on education, giving you tools to take back with you to the studio. In 1-2 visits, we will create a plan to help you dance healthier and more powerfully.
Pricing: $125 per session + individualized plan of action
