Talking about how you handle injuries can be tough,

It can be intimidating to talk about your injuries. For many it can be even difficult to admit that you are injured. And many times, the dance world doesn’t give us the space, the comfort to come up short and still be accepted.

Because if you can’t dance, are you even really a ?

Well I’m here to tell you that even if you’re not in a studio or company that supports you at your worst, that I’ll be here

✨I’ll be here to walk you thru the scary big words and help you to understand what’s going on
✨I’ll be here to help you find the path back to the studio
✨I’ll be here to make sure you come back even better, even stronger

I won’t judge you as you go thru one of the most emotional times of your dance career - because your talent surpasses one injury, one stumbling block, one setback.

Reach out to me. Shoot me an email or a DM. Talk about that thing holding you back. Let’s figure out together how to get you back to dancing as we go into the new year!

Cheers!

Let’s continue the conversation about ankle swelling reduction. In our last post we spoke about the the new guidelines of PEACE, now let’s take a look at LOVE

The goal here is to give you a bird’s eye view of your rehab process instead of focusing on just the initial symptoms. Many people do think that once the initial pain and swelling is resolved, that things should return to normal. Yes there is more work to do! - take a look at what comes next

After the acute phase - a few days after your injury , LOVE comes next.
𝗟 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱
Goal: Emphasize active recovery using movement and exercises.

𝗢 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗺
Goal: development of optimistic patient expectations that are associated with better outcomes and prognosis.

𝗩 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Goal: Increase blood flow and improve limited physical function

𝗘 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲
Goal: reduce the occurrence of recurrent injuries

Be sure to give your ankle PEACE and LOVE, but be sure to look at the big picture of your injury.

𝙇𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠,

During this time of the year, with performances and auditions in full swing, many of you may be feeling frustrated with the progress of your technique. After all the time that you put in - with long classes, and lengthy rehearsals- it can be upsetting to not see the fruits of your efforts.

So what’s the deal? What’s keeping you back from performing your best?
Well, that answer can be complex - as there are quite a few things that can affect your performance, ranging from injuries to a lack of sleep. Outside of plainly obvious signs - pain associated with an injury, fatigue associated with lack of sleep - you will have to do some detective work to figure out what can be holding you back . Be sure to check in with your physical therapist for a comprehensive check on what may be affecting you.

As with most traditional training programs, you should see improvements in your technique from year to year, sometimes sooner, depending on the details and content of your training program. However, there is mounting evidence in the past few decades that dancers are lacking in strength training due to the design of traditional technique programs. We know that your class is designed for mastering your technique, whereas you will need additional strength and conditioning training to achieve improvements in your fitness that you can layer your technique on.

So one way to troubleshoot your performance is by looking at your conditioning - how strong are you to perform the tasks of your technique training? If there are areas that you are weak in, for example, your core strength , or calf strength, this can limit mastering or improving your technique.

So take a step back and do a quick audit that you may need in your dance training.
✅Technique training
✅Strength training
✅Cardiovascular training
✅ Flexibility training
✅Sleep Audit
✅Diet and Nutrition
✅Injury recognition, treatment and prevention
✅Mental Health

We’re half way through the performance season, and many of the shows that I’ve attended - online and in person have been fantastic.

I’m so happy to support the amazing performing athletes that work tirelessly, day in aand day out, long nights, little sleep, through pain and stress, and still come out on top, shining!

There’s so much more for you coming in 2024. You have big plans for your dreams! And I’m here for it!

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨!
This is your baseline ability to perform the movements that you do in dance that incorporate
✅Flexibility
✅Cardiovascular endurance
✅Strength training
✅Power training
✅Neuromuscular Coordination
✅Balance and proprioception
✅Mental health
✅Nutrition
✅Sleep and Rest

These are the things you need to let your technique shine. Without these things, your technique not only suffers, but can get stuck . If you’ve noticed that you’ve gotten stagnant in your growth, there’s a good chance that one of those things on your list is holding you back.

So be sure to match the King with your Queen, so you can rule the stage.

Ankle sprains are a bigger pain than many people would admit. It appears to be an inconvenience but can drastically affect the way that you move

Think of a table that has uneven legs. And the unpredictability of not knowing how stable that surface will be. If you shift to the right you may if you spill your coffee or tea. You’re always having to adjust where you put your pressure on the table to avoid things shifting or moving on the table.

That’s kind of how an ankle sprain can be - your stable base is now off. And that makes movement and trusting in the stability of your movement uncertain, unpredictable and many times scary if you’re involved in a sport or high intensity /impact movement.

So let’s learn a bit about how ankle sprains works. Here are some key things you should know about ankle sprains

🔺Lateral ankle sprains are pretty common
🔺Women, younger age, certain jobs and indoor/court sports have a higher risk
✅Ankle sprains have drastically affect your mobility
✅Early mobility and active recovery is key with ankle sprains

Regarding your recovery, the details of this depends on how severe your injury is and if further diagnostics are needed. But getting ahead of mobility, swelling and muscle recruitment issues can make a big difference in how you feel and how fast you recover.

It’s been a busy month and as we are coming up on the end of the year, I always like to do a bit of reflection that sets me up for the new times ahead. Specifically, I love to see the things that went well and the things that I need to continue to work on.

𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 - 𝗔𝗻𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘀𝘀𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲
During the month of November, the universe started to send me all of these ankles. Past patients, new patients, friends, people in my workspace, guys in the grocery, it seemed that everyone had an ankle story. And the more I saw it, the more that I started to see that I needed to talk more about it.

So in the next few weeks I’ll be talking more about ankle sprains, and the trends that I see. Also, if you’re suffering from an issue with your foot or ankle - stiffness, soreness, feeling unstable or pain, you may want to tune into this series. And share the love - if you know someone that has a foot or ankle issue - please share this with them. And of course, feel free to email me with any specific questions, I’ll be happy to answer

It's the holiday season, and there is much to celebrate and be thankful for. This is also a season where we decide to realize all the dreams that we set for ourselves. We set big intentions for your family and loved ones to come thru for the holiday season. More shopping, more cooking, more homemaking, more travel, more love!
And for the performers - it is a season where all the hard work of the past months come to life. Always an exciting time to look forward to and one of my favorite times of the year.

In the past couple of months I’ve had various conversations about different aspects of Dance Performance. And I’ve decided to have some more open conversation about itn- because it’s hard to get all the important points in one post.

I’m starting this off with the basics - we’re talking about Dance Conditioning. What is good Dance Conditioning and what does it look like? Join me and Jason Harrison of as we talk about all the things Dance Conditioning.

Behind me are the moments, lessons and women that have taught, guided, instructed, nurtured and acted as an incubator for my potential.

Ahead of me are the yet unrealized opportunities and windows to not only grow and flourish into my amazing future self, but the moment to pause and enjoy the body, the mind and entity that I am - right now.

So on this day , I celebrate the past, present and future. I celebrate the women that have influenced me, encouraged me to be better, and continue to support my evolution.

And I sincerely hope I am that woman to someone else too!

My name is Danelle - many people call me . I’ve been working and living in my passion of physical therapy for 17 years. 7 years ago I stepped out on an impulse born of dissatisfaction of how PT delivered care in the usual medical model. I wanted to do something different where both the patient and provider (me!) could win. Sorry but insurance companies winning is not something I’m passionate about 🤷🏽‍♀️

Along the way, I’ve collected some cool tools and skills, connected with talented clinicians and had the pleasure of helping some truly amazing humans - my patients - move without pain and able to have a richer experience of their life as they know it.

My new and evolved passions?
✨Empowerment to effect positive change on your health by eliminating pain and optimizing the movement you love to do
✨Pushing the dance world to normalize the prioritization of dancer health and wellness as an asset and not an option
✨Creating support systems for women in business to not just survive but to thrive
