The end of an era 🩰

While our time as the physical therapy providers and medical coordinators for Atlanta Ballet has come to a close, we are incredibly proud of the years we spent supporting the strength, artistry, and resilience of its professional dancers and growing artists.

Thank you to the dancers for trusting us with your bodies, your minds, your trials, and your triumphs. It has been an absolute honor over the past 11 years 🙏🏻

Though we may no longer be onsite, our commitment to you—the dancers—remains unchanged. Our doors are always open and we’re here for you whenever you need us.

We’re excited about this next chapter and look forward to continuing to cultivate the relationships we made over the many years. Your artistry inspires us every day and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish. M***e!

Lastly, A HUGE thank you to our clinical staff 🙏🏻 We are made up of so many amazing individuals that have supported the goals for providing specialized medical care that professional dancers deserve to have access to. We are so grateful for your continued efforts to push the health and well-being of these artists to the forefront of every conversation and initiative!

Love, Love, LOVE 💗
