Personal trainers do not have the same hands on training as a physical therapist. A personal trainer has a certification; a physical therapist has a license. If they go beyond stretching and assessing your soft tissues, this is outside of their scope of practice.

This is why the healthcare professionals and personal trainers that work with dancers keep insisting that lifting weights is imperative to minimize the risk of injury.

Dancers, take note.

No really, lift heavy. No, you will not become bulky. Will you hurt yourself deadlifting? Maybe, but that's if you decide to lift 100 lbs with no training experience. Go slow and gradually build.
If you are a human, you will benefit from lifting weights.

Progress looks like rolling hills. The only way to see the progress you've made is to learn from some of the areas that need practice.
It's not a weakness; in fact, it's a strength.

I know it sounds dumb, but winding down will help you regulate yourself to move on to the next thing whether it's going back to work, another class or sleep.

It might sound silly, but there is a lot to be said for a neuromuscular warm-up. The brain will protect your body as much as it can, but if it's not ready for the input, you might not like how your body responds.

And yes, there is a LOT of nuance I don't have the space to address. A discussion is always welcome in the comments.

No one benefits from pushing through an injury.
Taking 6-8 weeks off to rehabilitate and recover is a very small amount of time to be away from dancing.

Including salt!*

Salt is essential when trying to keep hydrated. I know, it seems untrue but I promise I'm not making this up.

If you're injured, staying hydrated is key to recovery.

*Unless your physician states otherwise.

Turns out, the weeks leading up to your wedding make it hard to stay on track with regular movement.

Time to recalibrate and hopefully I can get back to ballet classes soon.

Now, I'm not advocating for you to diagnose your students, but ask what they need. Building a referral base of physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, registered dieticians, mental health professionals and strength coaches will only help your dancers.

This is why dancers don't speak up when something hurts.
Dance educators, don't brush off or penalize your dancers. It's antiquated and cruel.

No one person can do everything perfectly all the time, however, with the intensity of summer programs comes the increased risk of injuries.
Be kind to your body and brain. Sleep, eat and rest.
