Dance Medicine Practicum Series  

Westside Dance Physical Therapy values the pursuit of knowledge and the journey of being a life long student.  We are proud to share our experiences in treating the dancer population through a series of continuing education courses.  The series is focused on clinical assessment and management of the dancer/patient and designed to upgrade the knowledge and practical application in the prevention, reduction and rehabilitation of dance injuries.

Our Dance Medicine Practicum is divided into 4 two-day modules. Each module consists of a combination of lecture, demonstration, clinical assessment and hands-on lab experience.

The maximum number of attendees is limited to 20 with two instructors and one lab assistant.  

​

The four units of our Practicum include:

Concepts in Dance Medicine
Foot, Ankle
and Knee
Lumbar spine, Hip and Pelvis
Thorax, Cervical spine and Shoulder

Currently there are no dates for the Dance Medicine Practicum at Westside Dance Physical Therepy.
