Big Apple energy 🍎✨

Huge thank you to for hosting a Sugarfoot Therapy workshop with this incredible group of dance-specialist DPTs. There’s nothing better than connecting with clinicians who speak the language of movement and are passionate about elevating care for dancers.
We dove into creative, performance-driven rehab strategies…all while overlooking the iconic Broadway theaters from Spear PT Times Square. 🎭💃🕺

For our heels readiness progression program…

All “IN HEELS” exercises should be done in the dancer’s actual new heels to condition the correct joints, soft tissues, and proprioceptors.

By following a measurable milestone framework, you can avoid skipping critical stages of preparation and develop the resilience needed for stylistic versatility and confidence in your new heels.
Keep in mind that this progression is based on readiness and control, not just time. You may spend more time in one Phase versus another…but should plan to spend at least one week on each Phase. And if you struggle at any level, you can revisit the previous Phase to reinforce foundation work. This series can be supplemented with cross-training, mobility, and alignment work for best results.

Follow Dr. Caroline’s video for each Phase and use the Program Guide PDF to assess and document your progress. Now – let’s work!

After 14 years as a PT treating pro dancers and athletes, here’s the truth: Nothing beats 8–10 hours of sleep + proper nutrition for recovery.

Your best recovery tool isn’t in a studio, gym, or PT clinic—it’s in your BED. 🛌✨

Start here, and your body will thank you.

Like you, our quest for bettering ourselves is ever-evolving…

Designed in our Los Angeles physical therapy clinics,
Practiced in dance studios, rehearsal halls, gyms, and backstage spaces around the world for the past 10 years…

Our platform started as a way to make dance-specific therapeutic exercise programs, warm-ups, and strength workouts universally accessible to the pros we were working with…
So they could maintain and continue their progress while traveling, and after completing the rehab process.

Our Teacher Training Workshop is the level-up we always dreamed of…
Dance Teachers are the heroes who daily instill passion, discipline and creativity for their students. We love to share our expertise with you, so you can creatively and confidently incorporate functional triplanar movement into your teaching practice…with ongoing and lasting positive impact!
