Don’t Let Injuries Keep You Grounded.

Performing Arts Physical Therapy for Dancers and Aerialists in Tacoma

Pain keeps you from your passion.

When you experience an injury, you’re not just dealing with pain - it completely disrupts your routine and your lifestyle. You are no longer able to hit the tricks that you love, and pushing your artistic ability is now at a standstill. Beyond just the physical pain, you might be worried about your ability to perform - whether that be for competition, recitals, student showcases, or professional gigs. Many providers might tell you to shut it down completely, but we know that is not an option for you.

At The PATH Rehab & Performance in the Stadium District of Tacoma, we specialize in Performance Physical Therapy catered to performing artists. Whether you are a pole dancer, aerialist, or competitive studio dancer; we’re here to get you back in the studio and performance ready, so you can enjoy your art without hesitation.

The Process

  • Calm It Down

    This is where we focus on reducing your symptoms as quickly as possible. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will take you through a thorough one-on-one evaluation and movement analysis that is specific to your movement goals to determine the root cause of your pain.

  • Create A Plan

    Need to get back to grand jetés, handsprings, or aerial inversions? No problem! You and your physical therapist will work together to create an individualized plan that is specific to your movement and performance goals. The best part? You will be given immediate, easy modifications to implement so that you can still be as active as possible in the studio.

  • Build It Up

    Once your pain is under control, we really start to hone in on the specific performance-related movements that you want to get back to. This is where we focus on biomechanics, tissue resiliency, motor-control, and correcting muscle imbalances so that you are returning to training and performing even better than you were before.

  • Performance Ready

    This is where we work together to create long-term solutions so that your pain does not come back, whether it’s conventions/intensives, competitions, or consistent performances that you’re returning to. We focus on maintenance work, injury risk reduction, and performance enhancement so that you are feeling and performing at your best for a lifetime!
