Being flexible can feel like a superpower, until it isn’t.

For many dancers, hypermobility brings freedom in movement but also instability, pain, or recurring injuries.

Physio helps strengthen your control, not take away your flexibility.

It’s about teaching your body how to hold the strength behind the stretch.

Every dancer moves differently, that’s what makes watching them so special. But it’s also why one-size-fits-all advice never works.

When we assess dancers, we’re looking for how their body controls force, transitions between movements, and recovers after repetition.

It’s not about “fixing” technique it’s about understanding how the body works best for *you.*

That’s where true longevity in dance begins.

A Pre-Pointe Assessment at Movement Laboratory is about setting you up for success.
During your session, our dance physiotherapist will assess your:
✨ Foot and ankle strength
✨ Lower limb alignment and balance
✨ Core and pelvic control
✨ Flexibility, turnout, and technique

We’ll help identify areas that are ready and those that might need a little more work so you can transition safely and confidently onto pointe shoes.

Dancers push their bodies to the limit, which is why certain injuries are all too common.

Sprains, stress fractures, and knee pain don’t just slow you down, they can cut careers short.

The good news? With the right physio support, training, and recovery, most dance injuries are preventable.

At Movement Lab, our dance physios specialise in keeping you moving safely and performing at your best.

Injury prevention = stronger technique + longer dance careers.

Lisa's journey with Pilates began as a way to prevent injuries and improve performance during her performing arts training at ED5 International. What started as a tool for performance quickly became a passion, as she discovered Pilates’ incredible ability to improve posture, support mental wellbeing, and build confidence in everyday life.

Ever feel like your body is carrying tension you just can’t shake… that tight, stuck feeling that holds you back?
That’s often your fascia talking. Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles, and when it becomes restricted, it can cause pain, stiffness, and changes in the way you move.

Myofascial integration works with that tissue using slow, intentional pressure to release restrictions and restore balance. The result? More freedom, less strain, and movement that feels natural again.
With Alex’s guidance, you’ll not only feel the difference in the moment, you’ll learn how to move in new ways that support you long-term.

If your body’s been asking for change, this might be the reset it needs.
