#BETTER #FASTER: What to do when you get injured dancing

Dance is known as a sport that can teach you or your child strength, discipline and time management.  More than that, dance can provide a kind of second family to kids, adolescents, and adults who spend hours together doing something they genuinely love.

But dance, like other competitive and intensive sports, is also known to have a community that ignores or overlooks injuries. Many dancers, parents, and teachers think that dancing through injuries is the only way to achieve dreams and win awards.

In this podcast episode of #BETTER #FASTER, Tina Baldini Vittorioso, owner at Centerstage Dance Academy, and PPT physical therapist and dancer Kayleigh Melroy talk about why this kind of thinking is both incorrect and harmful.

Melroy and Vittorioso discuss the consequences of dancing through injuries, when you should reach out to a doctor or physical therapist for help, what kind of injuries are most common in dance, and what dancers can do to avoid them, from working on form and technique to cross-training and strengthening stabilization muscles.
