Ankle & Foot Health in Dancers – A conversation with the Principal Physiotherapist of The Australian Ballet
The discussions surrounding dance injury care, prevention and rehabilitation for today's dance educators needs to be specific, relevant and proven/practiced by the health care teams of today’s dancers. So it is no surprise that today's topic, focusing on the ankle and foot health of dancers, is one we’ve visited in the past, due to the nature of, and demands on this particular muscle group in dance training. Today we have the pleasure and privilege of speaking with the Principal Physio Therapist at the Australian Ballet Dr. Sue Mayes.

She has published papers titled: ‘Hip joint health in professional ballet dancers’, and co-authored many ballet injury-related publications. As a part of the partnership between the Australian ballet and La Trobe University, Dr Mayes is researching ankle, foot and hip joint health in professional ballet dancers and athletes.
