🌿 Holistic Physical Therapy: Understanding Root Causes in Dancers

At R3 Physio, we believe no symptom exists in isolation.

When a dancer struggles with flexibility, control, or pain, it’s rarely just about muscles. It’s about how the whole system — fascia, nutrition, sleep, nervous system, and emotional stress — work together (or against each other).

Many dancers we see are nursing old injuries that were never fully resolved.

Over time, the altered movement mechanics, changes in breathing patterns, and alignment — lead to “mystery pain” that traditional therapy often misses.

✨ True rehabilitation means listening to the story your body has been telling.

💬 Dancers — have you ever realized an old injury was still affecting your technique today?

đź©° Addressing Pointe Work Challenges in Dancers

When a dancer struggles to get fully over their toe box, it’s rarely just an ankle problem.

We recently saw a dancer whose right ankle pain made pointe work impossible. After examining her movement patterns, we discovered an old injury on the left side had changed how she walked — subtly shifting her alignment, core engagement, and pelvic mechanics over time.

At R3 Physio, we look beyond the obvious. Pointe readiness and pain-free dancing aren’t just about ankle mobility — they’re about how the entire body works together: hips, pelvis, ribcage, and even breathing patterns.

✨ When one area compensates, another takes the strain. True healing means addressing the full chain.

💬 Dancers — have you ever had pain on one side that started after an injury on the other? Let’s talk about how your body connects more than you realize.

🤸‍♀️ Hypermobility: Beyond the Medical Misconception

“Hypermobility” often gets a bad rap — but it’s not the problem it’s made out to be.

Yes, hypermobile joints can increase strain, but control is the difference between injury and artistry. The best dancers in the world don’t avoid their flexibility — they’ve learned how to stabilize and move through it with precision.

At R3 Physio, we see hypermobility as potential, not pathology. When we help dancers strengthen their neuromuscular control and fascial stability, that extra range becomes a gift — not a liability.

✨ Strength + control = sustainable artistry.

💬 If you’re a hypermobile dancer, what’s been your biggest challenge — strength, control, or confidence? Comment below!

👯‍♀️ Protecting Young Dancers: The Importance of Early Injury Care

Behind every professional dancer is a body that’s been cared for early.
We recently met an 8-year-old dancer with bilateral ankle pain — not from a major injury, but from untreated sprains that changed how she moved. The result?

Tightness, compensation, and pain on both sides.

In young dancers, early intervention is key. The body adapts fast — but not always in helpful ways. Ignoring “minor” pain can alter balance, turnout, and even long-term joint health.

At R3 Physio, we encourage parents to treat minor issues as information, not inconveniences. Helping young dancers move well now builds resilience for their future careers.

✨ Prevention is protection — not perfection.

💬 Dance parents — how do you help your dancer recover and rest between rehearsals?

🩵 Breaking Through Persistent Dance Injury: Understanding Sciatic Nerve Adhesion

When an injury won’t go away, it’s time to look deeper.

A dance instructor we worked with had torn her hamstring a year ago — and still had pain, despite therapy and chiropractic care. Turns out, it wasn’t the hamstring anymore… it was the sciatic nerve.

Nerve adhesions can mimic muscle injury and limit mobility long after the tissue has “healed.” Once we treated the adhesion, she regained over 50° of movement she hadn’t had in months.

✨ Sometimes, what feels like a muscle issue is really the body protecting more important structures, like our nerves.

💬 Have you ever had an injury that seemed “healed” but never felt right again? Tell us below — we love helping dancers connect the dots.
