Caroline Vandenberg is one of our newest Pivot Experts who had the summer of a lifetime.
“This summer was truly incredible — an intensive time of learning, growing, reconnecting with family and friends, and meeting new and inspiring people.
I had the opportunity to complete my clinical placement in Canada at Pivot Sport Medicine and Orthopaedics, and it was an unforgettable experience. 🇨🇦
I’m Canadian – born in Ottawa and grew up in Toronto, where I attended Canada’s National Ballet School. After dancing professionally for 10 years, I’m now studying physiotherapy at the Hochschule Bochum in Germany. Coming home for this placement felt like such a full-circle moment — blending my dance background with my passion for physiotherapy.
This internship was incredibly rewarding and enriching, with excellent mentoring and experience in advanced clinical settings. I enjoyed working in orthopaedic, sports, and dance physiotherapy. During my time at Pivot, I refined and strengthened my clinical reasoning skills, documentation, differential diagnostics, and practical skills.
One highlight was developing my own class as part of Pivot Dancer. Turn Lab focuses on improving dance turns through physiotherapy principles. I’m excited to continue offering Turn Lab online while studying in Germany (psst - you can sign up with the 🔗 in bio)!
A huge thank you to Dinah and the entire Pivot Dancer team for welcoming me so warmly — it was a privilege to learn from such skilled and dedicated clinicians. This experience strengthened my love for physiotherapy and dance medicine, and left me inspired for what’s ahead.
Now it’s back to school in Germany. Feeling grateful, motivated, and energized by everything this summer brought.🧡”
