Dance physio

[Honeybee]

Hi every one, fist time post!

 

Can any one recommend a dance physio.

My dd has a slightly fallen arch and needs to build the strength around her knee to support her quad muscles.

We have been to physio attached to our GP, who gave great advice and exercise's

But dd dance teacher has suggested a dance physio might be better for her.

 

We live in Lincolnshire but are willing to travel.

Hi Honeybee and welcome to the forum. :-)

 

Dance UK has a comprehensive list of medical practitioners who specialise in dance, and this can be searched by speciality or location:

I recommend the attached http://www.bodyconditioning.net/physiotherapy.html in the Cambridgeshire area.

Honeybee I’m not sure where in Lincolnshire you are I found www.barnhousephysio.co.uk through Dance UK they are a little more expensive than the Cambridgeshire one. It located to the south of the county Nr Stamford. For me I pass it every Monday on my way to class, so it was really convenient.

 

Tulte: Where in Cambridgeshire is that Physio located ?, I couldn’t find it on her website, as I may check her out sometime, she certainly has the right background and I’m quite close to the Lincs/Cambrdgeshire border, anyway one of my classes is in Cambridgeshire. .

I think that physio might be in Gamlingay - Cambridgeshire.  I know some years ago a family member from St Ives went to a specialist dance physio there.

I live just up the road from you in Boston.

 

 

I did read up on the barn house with it being so close,(It's good to know you recommend it.) But I do like the sound of the Cambridge one.

 

 

Just finding time to fit it in!

Yes I like the sound of the Cambridgeshire one too, but it looks like quite at trek to do on a regular basis, even if its just off the A1, anyway good luck, let us know how you get on if you go there.

Hi Honeybee

Recommend Helen Eaton at Greetham Physio (near Stamford)-she is amazing with knees in particular! She and her husband have treated lots of 'names' in the sports world. She looked after dd with patella problems and a broken metatarsal.

Just a word of warning about this site for finding a physio. I went to somebody listed here and they honestly had no idea about ballet, so I don't think they check before they list them.

Good point, Ribbons.  I believe if they have any experience treating dancers  they are within their right to put  their names on this list.
