Knee Pain in Dancers & Performers: Hyperextension, Hypermobility and Anterior Knee Pain. Knee pain is one of the most common reasons dancers and performers come to clinic, and it’s rarely caused by just one thing. We've been seeing many performers struggling with anterior knee pain (pain at the front of the knee) that is often linked to repeated loading in deep flexion, landing mechanics, turnout demands, and, very commonly, knee hyperextension in hypermobile individuals.

January often brings a mix of motivation and urgency. Classes restart, rehearsals ramp up, and many people feel pressure to “get back to where they were” before a break. But returning to training too quickly is one of the most common reasons we see flare-ups, setbacks, and preventable injuries at this time of year.A smarter return to training isn’t about doing less, it’s about doing what your body is actually ready for.

What if we told you that the core muscles are a coordinated system involving the diaphragm, deep abdominal muscles, pelvic floor and spinal stabilisers. You can see that the core is a complex system; including your breathing muscles, the layers of abdominal muscle that support your spine and the muscles that wrap around the inside of your pelvis.

In performance culture, there’s often an unspoken rule: the harder you work, the better you’ll get. But anyone who’s pushed through fatigue, injury, or burnout knows that more effort doesn’t always equal more progress.

Breathing seems simple. We do it 20,000 times a day without thinking.

Audition season is one of the most exciting, and stressful times of the year for singers, dancers, and performers.

It’s when preparation meets opportunity. While most performers rehearse their material for hours, far fewer prepare the one tool they all rely on most: their body.

If you’ve ever left a clinic feeling amazing, only to feel the same old pain or stiffness a few weeks later, you’re not alone. 

It’s not about the rehab being “wrong”, it’s about making sure the whole recovery picture is complete.

Here are the 3 most common gaps we see, and how to close them.

Recovering from an injury isn’t just a physical journey, it’s a mental one, too.

While most rehab programs focus on mobility, strength, and function, the emotional toll of being sidelined can be often underestimated. Whether you're a dancer, athlete, or someone trying to return to everyday movement, the mental side of healing can be just as complex, and just as important.
