Dancers: Massage Therapy is your secret weapon.
The important role of massage therapy in professional sports has long been understood by everyone — especially athletes. And while some don't typically think of professional dancing as a form of athletics (we at Elm City Wellness know otherwise), the benefits of bodywork on those who make a living in dance are just as numerous as for athletes — and just as significant to their livelihoods.
Massage Therapy helps dancers ease muscle strain & rebound from injury.
Muscle strain is a reality for most dancers. This is not surprising given the long hours they put into their craft and the fact that they tend to begin their careers at a very early age. Injury is also very common in dance. Here too, the skilled massage therapist can be helpful in restoring dancers — both professional and amateur — to peak physical condition. Massage has been found to be helpful in aiding a muscle to recover from injury.
