Dancer Health
Health
your health is important
Dancers need proper nutrition and hydration to remain fit and flexible. We also need to build strength and stretch properly to prevent injury. We are very thankful to have dance physical therapy available to our students right here at NBT. This service is available through Naomi Sawyer, a licensed physical therapist who specializes in dance. A professional dancer who understands the demands on your body means better care.
Care approach: Serving the whole dancer
- Affirms the value of every body
- Encourages the potential inherent in each unique dancer
- Acknowledges the interconnectedness between mind, body, and spirit as injuries are addressed and interventions are applied
- Provides compassionate, communication-centered care to clients
- Listens closely to clients’ concerns, goals, and need
