I believe Manual Therapists play an integral role within a dancers career. So often as dancers we can battle many anxieties and inhibitions which at times can be as paining as an injury. I think often there can be a struggle to identify when it’s time to seek help. It’s hard for a dancer to admit defeat. There shouldn’t be any stigma attached to being injured, our bodies are our instruments, we must look after them.
I truly liked this article, and I have shared it with my students. Our dance culture must evolve so that dancers feel that they are not perceived as weak nor risk getting side-lined because they need support from manual therapists or other health professionals. Dancing through an injury is unnecessary and a direct threat to the career we wish to enoy. After all, isn´t it wonderful to dance pain free?
