Young Dancers Academy Physiotherapy

Specialist dance injury rehabilitation and facility enhancement for YDA dancers!

Optimal ballet biomechanics are of prime importance to underpin safe training in young dancers. When the body’s joints and muscles work in fine-tuned balance this in turn enhances the speed of technique development and overall progression.
