Reposted using @EasyRepost "The beautiful Natalia, not long back from New York City and the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, working hard on her line, energy, port de bras, leg strength and core strength. Such a beautiful dancer and an amazing person. It's a pleasure to work with her, mentor her and contribute to what looks like a bright future in dance. #pilates #pilateslovers #pilatesreformer #balletlife #balletstudio #dance #ballet #physiotherapy #physiopilates #dancephysiotherapy #danceinjuryprevention #enpointeschoolofballet" by @insyncphysiopilates
Congratulations to @robinkish and @jenniemorton1 on the release of their book - Dancing Longer, Dancing Stronger, now available on Amazon!

Grateful for the presence, guidance, and mentorship of these two amazing women and the roles they have played in our lives as students, clinicians, and colleagues, and continually inspired by their never-ending efforts to build up, educate, and empower all artists.

Dynamic Floorwork Warm-Ups: Part 2
(Warm-ups are shown at 2x speed - control is key!).
.
In contemporary dance forms, breakin', capoeria, finding and establishing stability through our larger muscle groups (trunk muscles, large shoulder stabilizer muscles) helps to decrease the load on smaller joints such as the wrist or elbow.
.
These warmups begin to incorporate the need for trunk (and some hip!) stability. When warming up in a dynamic fashion, we must be aware of how we get up from the ground (concentrically), as well as how we *lower* to the ground (eccentrically).
.
1️⃣ BEAR CRAWLS.
⚠️: Keep pelvis level, don't let one hip rotate lower than the opposite hip or let one shoulder drop lower than the other!
.
2️⃣ SIDEPLANK + HIP/LEG RAISE.
⚠️: Push into the ground simultaneously through your hip (glute med) and your shoulder/scapula. Think about pushing your hips forward so your hips are on the same plane are your shoulders (like you're up against a wall, face first). The hip extension on the top leg further activates the top glute med muscle as well. Avoid hyperextending through your low back!
.
3️⃣ FROZEN BEAR ROLL + SIDEPLANK LIFT
⚠️: The aim for this exercise is to maintain the shoulder and hip rectangle as you roll on your back (Frozen Bear), avoiding twisting the torso. When you reach the side, the goal is the assume the sideplank and leg lift position without letting the shoulder or trunk collapse [read more below!]
.
⚕️ As an act of transparency, you can see in the final exercise, my left side definitely needs some work. On my RIGHT side, I can much more easily lift myself off the ground as one unit. On my LEFT however, there is a very obvious initiation from my shoulder first, THEN my hips, rather than simultaneously. Even as physical therapists, we all have work to do!

Dynamic Floorwork Warm-Ups: Part 1
[Videos sped up 2x - yes this is about control]
.
These warmups primarily emphasize weight bearing on your arms - more specifically pushing through the shoulder + lifting the torso AWAY from the ground.
.
1️⃣ QUADRUPED + ARM RAISE
⚠️: Keep pelvis level, don't let one hip rotate lower than the opposite hip.
.
2️⃣ DOWNWARD-DOG TOE TAPS
⚠️: Continue pushing through the floor even as you return to neutral - don't let your ribcage hang from your shoulder blades.
.
3️⃣ ARM LIFT + UPPER BACK ROTATIONS
⚠️: When it comes to scapular and shoulder mobility, we can't forget about the spine! Rotate through the thoracic spine but continue pushing through the floor with one hand and reaching for the ceiling with the other.
.
⚕️ Been seeing several individuals as of late with wrist/elbow pain and symptoms - contemporary dancers, breakers, and musical theatre performers alike.
⚕️ While it's not the end-all-treatment, simply increasing awareness of scapular stability and engagement of scapular musculature with weight bearing on the arms decreases force demand at the elbow and wrist, preventing the muscles from overworking.

PSA The importance of core work for dancers is NOT to have a 6 pack but rather to work on the deep core muscles (tansversus abdominus, obliques, even QL and multifidus) to prevent low back injuries and improve balance during turns or slower movements. .
.
Here’s an easy to do, but KILLER exercise to engage that deep core.
1. Have the dancer hold two yoga blocks at a 90 degree angle from their thighs
2. Hold legs at a table top position
3. Use arms to push the blocks against the legs and use core to resist
***ensure the small of the low back is pushing into the floor rather than creating a space and causing strain!

It’s good to be basic at AZDM! Once again we found a simple solution to improve the pointing of her foot and reduce her foot pain. Turns out the problem was in her glutes and the top of her core at her chin . SWIPE LEFT to see the before and after of her #onesessionwithazdm She’s on her way to better looking feet and stronger balance and turns!!! #Weknowdance #dance #ballet #pointe #contemporarydance #jazzdance #tapdance #dancemedicine #dancewellness #danceinjury #scoliosis #anklesprain #lowbackpain #plantarfasciitis #dancemedpro #tighthamstrings #danceconditioning #dancestudio #danceinjuryprevention #azdancers #phoenixdance #healthydancers #danceteacher #azdancemed #bboy #bgirl #ballroomdance #physicaltherapy https://azdancemed.com
