Flexibility Training

enhancement

Our dance and circus physiotherapists have the expertise to create effective flexibility programs tailored to your needs. We work with contortionists, rhythmic gymnasts, dancers, and clients managing hypermobility, pointe work, or turnout restrictions. One principle guides our approach: as your flexibility increases, so must your strength. Our goal is to ensure you can safely control your newly developed range of motion.

contortion

Contortion is a performance art that showcases extreme flexibility as a skill.

How Can a Physiotherapist Help?

Your physiotherapist will work closely with you—whether recreationally or professionally—to ensure your mobility is balanced and symmetrical. Training is carefully monitored to optimise the load-to-recovery ratio. We also address associated injuries and existing conditions, including:

• Spinal stress reactions and fractures

• Facet joint pathologies

• Muscular strains and tears

• Spondylosis and spondylolisthesis

Rhythmic Gymnastics

We provide careful assessment and guidance for young rhythmic gymnasts, taking into account skeletal maturation and the high physical demands of the sport. Rehabilitation and training programs are designed to balance technique, control, flexibility, and stability.

Hypermobility

We have the tools and expertise to assess hypermobility, determine your position on the spectrum, and develop a personalised program to safely optimise flexibility, strength, and control.
