This is a common stress point and struggle for PT new grads whether they are striving to be a dance PT or not, so let's talk about it.

The purpose is to help others know you are not alone and the common uphill battles people face.

It is easy to give up your dream to be a Dance PT.

This is one of the obstacles in a PT's life that becomes yet another reason why you won't let yourself pursue a PT career that works with dancers.

Listen, get inspired, and take action.

My cruise line buddy, Dr. Rachel Perry❤️️, is coming on to have an open discussion on the injuries we experienced and saw experienced when we performed on cruise lines.

I have interviewed her on this topic before, but I think it is important to discuss the power we do have and what we continue fighting to have in the PT profession.👍

This is a tough topic to speak about frankly, but it is important for so many female PTs , whether they are aiming to specialize in Dance PT or not.💯

How about gymnasts?🤸‍♀️
