🩰 Dancers are athletes, too!
Did you know that dancers can experience landing forces as high as 3.4 TIMES their body weight when performing leaps and jumps?! 🤯
That means a 120-pound dancer may have to absorb forces equivalent to over 400 pounds with every landing!
That’s why strength training, proper landing mechanics, and the ability to absorb and produce force are so important for dancers.
At Stark Performance Physical Therapy, we help dancers build the strength, mobility, and control needed to perform at their best while reducing their risk of injury.
Because being flexible is great, but being STRONG is just as important! 💪🩰
