Coping with lengthy recovery from injury

[Goldenlily17]

Can members offer advice to parents who are supporting pre-professional ballet students recovering from injury? Which schools/advisors are best at rehabilitating students who are in this difficult and frustrating situation?

[Lisa O`Brien]

I guess it depends on the age of the student and the extent or type of injury.

Talking about students who are almost company ready

I think someone mentioned in the past that Legat at St Bees did a rehab course?

 

I would think Moorland school would be worth calling - you'd certainly get a personal service there with attention to detail.

 

Neither of the above would be cheap....

 

Do you have a physio? Do you need to see the specialist NHS dance service in London/Birmingham. (Orthopaedics)

 

Sorry that's some rather random thoughts! Hope you can make progress. Good luck

I was going to suggest the NIDMS NHS Dance Clinics at Stanmore, Birmingham or Bath if you don't have private medical insurance: http://www.nidms.co.uk/bath

 

 

If you do have insurance, Julian Widdowson is a wonderful consultant and runs a private dance injury clinic in London: http://www.totalsportmedicine.co.uk/ldisclinic/ as well as the NHS one in Bath.
