096 - Aging Athletically
Welcome back to Season 9 of the Recovering Perfectionist Podcast!
In this episode, Christine chats with Dr. Meena McCullough, Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of clinical experience working exclusively with dancers. Meena is the creator of Body Spring, a dance-focused physical therapy and movement education company dedicated to helping adult dancers move better, feel more stable, and stay in the dance longer. Body Spring bridges the gap between rehabilitation and high-level dance performance. The work focuses on fascia, joint mechanics, and whole-body connection, addressing the underlying patterns that lead to stiffness, pain, instability, and recurring injuries.
The goal is simple: to help dancers age athletically, move with confidence, and keep doing what they love.
Meena also invented the The Dance Foot Posture System™, a structured, fascia-based training system created specifically for adult dancers who want to improve performance without pushing through pain or stiffness.
Unlike generic foot exercises or balance tools, this system teaches dancers how to restore internal support from the ground up by retraining foot posture, pressure management, and joint sequencing. The result is better balance in heels, cleaner technique, improved connection through the legs and core, and fewer injuries over time.
Designed for Ballroom, Latin, Smooth, Rhythm, Country, and social dancers, the system is time-efficient, easy to integrate into daily practice, and appropriate for dancers who started later in life or are returning after injury. Many dancers report noticeable changes in how they feel and move within minutes, with deeper, lasting improvements developing over several weeks.
This system is not about doing more. It is about preparing the body so technique can actually land.
