Dr Rob Tsai, PT, DPT sharing with the attendees at Dance Educators Collective last weekend in Nashville.

Two seminars included:
1. “Physical Literacy as Injury Prevention” as a segment of the Artists-Athlete Initiative and
2. “Navigating Growth & Maturation, Pain, and Injury”

Both of these seminars aimed to create and facilitate dialogue that acknowledges and honors the human behind the dancer, and how dance educators can begin to create space for human health conversations in the educational space.

Holding ourselves to an higher standard.

“Make it make sense” seems to be the theme coming into workshops and education this season.

🤔 Be strong, AND what does building and maintaining strength look like if we have limited time?

🤔 Make time for recovery, AND find ways when our schedules don’t allow for the best recovery (every little bit counts).

🤔 Make your pain and needs heard, AND how do you find your community resources so you’re not alone in the process?

So what can all of this look like? Let’s chat.

A conversation we often have with a dancer is fear of moving past an exercise or anything more challenging because of pain. It might be odd to hear that, sometimes, a level of discomfort might be expected, and *sometimes* it’s actually appropriate to have some pain. How do we tease this out?

Treating and addressing pain also means understanding it. Let’s make space to ask questions, break things down clearly, and help you make sense of what you’re feeling.

When you understand what your body is telling you, you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

There’s physical therapy, and then there is learning to make sure you’re leaving our spaces strong and better equipped, not just in your movement, but in how you think about your body, your training, and your recovery.

While you can expect to leave your sessions stronger, we also strive to make sure you leave more aware, and more in tune with how to care for yourself both in and out of the studio.

Life changes. Bodies shift. Recovery looks different. Things take time. But that doesn’t mean your artistry fades. How can we approach your health with clarity, intention, and acknowledgement as age becomes a consideration?

📆Join us for health workshop session with Dr Mila this Saturday! In-Person and Virtual [Link in bio]

At DANCE|PREHAB, we see how dance is always present across the spectrum of our individual lives. Aging doesn’t mean it’s the end of your dance story. It’s a continuation!

How can we explore what strength, balance, and presence look like right now, without letting go of the joy and expression that brought you here?

We’re here for those who are still curious, still growing, and still finding meaning in movement at every stage.

Let’s move!

There are a variety of ways we can have the recovery conversation and what better way than to see it for yourself?

In our work in physical therapy, conversations around sleep are important because that’s when the healing happens. There are certain healing processes that occur specifically during sleep.

There are a ton of ways we can track our sleep hours and quality of sleep (this one was specifically based on the Hooper MacKinnon Questionnaire).

We’ll forever be talking about sleep, and for us, it’s not just about “sleep more ok bye”. It’s finding and discovering ways that we can have actionable conversations AND create spaces to talk about sleep and recovery.

That starts with us acknowledging what we need for ourselves. For the record, these are the human things we continue to have to do for ourselves as well even beyond dance.

Let’s move!

We’re talking recovery at our next Sunday Space for Dance Educators.

📍In-Person in OC or virtually!
📋 Register via our Dance Educators Health Compass (link in bio to join / $25.00 with 5 day free trial)

Questions we often hear include:
❓How to apply proper recovery principles with limited time?
❓How do I know if my dancers are recovered enough?
❓What if there’s no time for recovery?

At DANCEPREHAB, in both rehab and education, recovery is rarely a general conversation.

We have to get pretty specific with:
✅ Training demand
✅ Competition schedules
✅ Healing timelines
…and this often means communication on the fly.

Want to learn how to better support your students? Let’s chat.

As an adult dancer, your needs, your experiences, and your goals deserve to be understood. We're not just talking medically, but as a whole person.

Whether you’re returning to dance, just starting out, or continuing a lifelong journey, we want to hear from you:
❓What’s been helpful?
❓What’s been missing?
❓What kind of support would actually make a difference?

If you've seen our approach to youth and adolescent dancers, we look forward to extending the same kind of care to adults as well.

📋 We’ve put together a short survey to help us learn more, so we can serve you better.

🔗Tap the link in bio to share your experience. As always, we're all ears and here to listen!

Note: the questionnaire itself is currently more ballet-centric, but we'd love to hear all experiences!

Healing at means working with an injury, but more importantly working around an injury. What are the ways we can make sure you still stay involved in your artistry, your training, and your community?

With summer intensives around the corner, it becomes more important to help you find ways to continue training what we can to be as best prepared, even during the process of healing.

Restoring your confidence means us making in-depth assessments, having collaborative conversations , and uncovering your entry point back to movement.

Let’s move!

✅ 1-on-1, 60 minute sessions solely dedicated to you & your healing process.

✅ Dance Performance Physical Therapists who acknowledge the physical, social, and cultural demands of dance.

✅ Respect & dedication to the human behind the dancer.

✅ Approach your rehab with a athletes’ mindset with your performance goals in mind.

✅ Exercise & education designed and updated to match your movement demand and artistic needs.

What are ✨we✨ doing at to make sure dancers and families are ready for summer training?

✅ Besides working around an injury, we’re also including proper strength and conditioning to prepare your whole self - not just a body part.

✅ We’ll be reaching out to health teams at summer intensives on behalf of our patients and families to communicate specific PT or training needs so you know you have trusted support.

✅ We’re here to have realistic conversations about healing so you know where you’re at and how to maximize your summer intensives experience 😉

It feels like we’re only finishing up with end of season or end of school shows and summer intensives are already around the corner!

We hope this helps start a conversation for you so you know how to best take advantage of your resources to train and perform your best!
