DANCE & PERFORMING ARTS

“Do it big, do it right, and do it with style.”

-Fred Astaire

Helping dancers and performing artists who want to stay healthy, prevent injuries and optimize performance.

Dance & Performing Arts Physical Therapy

90% of dancers will sustain an injury over the course of their training. 

You do not need to perform in pain. We got you.

Heal thoroughly and restore proper technique and alignment to prevent injuries and train at your highest capacity.

We use an evidence-based approach that combines the latest scientific research and techniques with an artistic appreciation for the body in motion.

We draw from decades of dance training and performance, and over 15 years of practice providing performing artists with specialized PT services and targeted treatment plans to help you get back on stage and performing at your peak.

Amy is the PT for The Portland Ballet and a lead member of their Wellness Team.
