Dance Injuries

Integrative Physical Therapy is honored to offer physical therapy to our local and amazing dance community. IPT knows that dancers are a unique population to treat because of the flexibility, range of motion, and repetitive injuries they acquire from hours of practice and little rest time.

IPT skillfully rehabilitates dance injuries, develops programs for injury prevention, and quickly returns dancers to their skilled passion.
