Pre-Pointe Assessments & Screening Sydney

Young dancers can benefit from our comprehensive pre-pointe assessments and dance musculoskeletal screenings to ensure that any areas of concern are addressed.   Nicole will provide a detailed report outlining the results of the assessment and recommendations to dance teachers to ensure the continuation of the care of the dancer back into the studio.

The Zone gym space includes a ballet barre, a pilates reformer, and a large gym space to allow a thorough assessment and rehabilitation of dancers of all levels.

Sports Physiotherapy

EXPERIENCE

The principles of sports physiotherapy include early assessment, management, exercise based rehabilitation and prevention. At Zone 34 we believe that these principles can be applied to people from all walks of life. We will help you get back to being active no matter the injury.
