Pre-pointe assessments
Pointe work needs a strong foundation of classical technique plus specific foot, ankle, knee and hip strength and control. Starting pointe with these in place helps prevent injury and poor habits.
The assessment covers range of motion, strength and technique, along with current and past injuries, dance load, styles and age. You'll receive a pre-pointe report that can be shared with your dance school.
Common dance injuries
- Posterior ankle impingement and Os Trigonum syndrome
- Flexor hallucis longus tenosynovitis
