Pre-pointe assessments

At Sports & Performance Physical Therapy we offer a pre-pointe assessment for $40.00.

If you are wondering if your young dancer is ready to transition to en pointe without causing further injury.  We are able to do a full body strength, flexibility and biomechanical assessment to determine if your dancer is ready to be en pointe.  We will also take this time to educate young dancers about healthy habits and preventive techniques to reduce injury.  Please call the office today to schedule an appointment for your young dancer.
