Treatment for professional dancers
Rick Williams is our experienced osteopath specialising in dance at the Woking Clinic. With a long history of treating both professional dancers and vocational dance students. His primary interests include managing hypermobility and mitigating injury risks. Rick's approach involves understanding each dancer's unique physique and the specific techniques they require, enabling him to coach them effectively from injury recovery to performance readiness through targeted strength and control exercises.
Rick's practice involves regular collaboration with orthopaedic surgeons, sports physicians, and his own multidisciplinary network. He thrives on the challenge of extending healthcare services to young dancers at all levels. In addition to treating injuries, identifying and addressing issues that may be limiting a dancer's potential are also part of his scope of practice. His wife was a professional dancer and is now a teacher; his eldest son works professionally, and his youngest is in full-time training.
