In Part 1 of our two-part interview with physical therapist Erika Mayall of Allegro Performance and Wellness, we dive into why ballet dancers need specialized care from providers who truly understand the unique demands ballet puts on the body. Erika shares her journey into working with dancers, how injury prevention differs for ballet artists, common misdiagnoses, and early warning signs dancers and parents should watch for. She also offers guidance on choosing the right specialist and how dancers can advocate for themselves in healthcare settings. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Erika discusses dancer wellness in schools, recovery tools, and long-term health habits.

Erika also has a fantastic podcast called The Dance Physio Podcast that we think every dancer and their parents should tune in and listen to. Find it wherever you get your podcasts or learn more on her website.
