At Activate Dance Physio, recovery from injury and a safe return to the stage, are our main priorities. Our approach may include deep tissue releases, gentle muscle energy techniques, manual joint mobilisation techniques, laser trigger point release, support taping or other traditional physiotherapy treatments.
Our treatment is influenced on work done by The Australian Ballet Physio and rehab team, Dr Alison Grimaldi (Hip programme), Robyn Gant (foot and ankle) and many other top researchers. There is a strong hands on manual therapy approach and detailed exercise rehab progressions and advice.
