Thank you to the parents who attended the Parent Workshop today. We had great discussions about:

✅ injury management and prevention
✅ growth & development

Empowering parents to confidently make decisions about their dancer’s health and performance is super important to us at Charlotte Dance Medicine. We are here to support parents so their dancers can thrive at home, in the studio, and for life ❤️

Another thank you to for setting up all of our workshops and always advocating for dancer health and wellness.

The annual Pointe Preparation Workshop with is a wonderful collaboration between its students, parents, and teachers, and their local dance physical therapist 🙋‍♀️

It takes a village to achieve a 🩰 promotion, and CDM is honored to be part of that journey!

Another fantastic conference ( #6!) in the books! This year we traveled to Vegas 👯‍♀️

So much was learned and shared, but the best part of this conference is always connecting with new and old friends ❤️❤️

Meghan co-presented a case study with “Management of chronic ankle pain and postoperative complications in a pre-professional ballerina.”

CDM values continually learning from colleagues and patients. We are so lucky to be a part of the local Charlotte dance community and thank you for trusting your health and wellness with us. We are grateful for you!

What it looks like to pay homage to where it all started ❤️

Dr. Meghan traveled to her home studio in Pennsylvania last month, as did 65 other alumni from across the country.

Spanning 35 years of graduating classes, they danced together on stage as a celebration of 4️⃣0️⃣ years of business for and the biggest THANK YOU to the woman, the hero, the queen, behind it all 👸

As physical therapists, part of our job is to educate dancers on the importance of nutrition and start the conversation on how nutrition impacts them…

🤓 as students and growing teens/pre-teens

🩼 when injured

💪 while trying to optimize athletic performance

For more in-depth discussions or individualized recommendations, we refer to a registered dietician, nutritionist, or physician depending on the dancer’s needs.

✨✨

If you have an injured athlete or want to decrease risk for injuries and improve performance, join us for the Nutrition for Athletes Workshop!

The workshop will open these conversations about nutrition and provide practical solutions for how to include more fruits & veggies in meals and snacks - including food tastings 🤩🤩

It is geared toward parents, teachers, and coaches, but athletes ages 8+ are welcome to attend as well. This info is
important for ALL athletes - not just dancers - so bring a friend or neighbor whose child plays a different sport!

📅 January 26th, 2:00-4:00pm
📍 9820 Northcross Center Ct, Huntersville
