22.01.2022 Hip pain is a common complaint in dancers. Pinching at the front of the hip commonly occurs if you are forcing turn out or have a muscle imbalance or technique fault that needs to be addressed. Mobilising the hip in the opposite direction is a nice way to gain pain relief if you have hip pain. This video shows a nice gentle self mobilisation using theraband. Tie the band around a study object (ideally at hip height) and loop it around t...he top of your thigh (at hip crease level). Rotate your foot out (away from your body), then rock back and forth on your hands and knees. The band should only gently pull on the hip and there should be NO PAIN! If you experience any pain while doing this exercise please stop and see your Physiotherapist. If it feels great, perform 10-20 gentle reps. Any questions? Please post below! #dancephysio #physionorth #hippain #dancership See more

12.01.2022 Do you feel jammed in our SIJ (sacroiliac joint)? The SIJ is the joint that connects your sacrum/tail bone to your pelvis and spine. Sometimes you can get tight/sore down the edge of your tail bone if your gluts are tight and your SIJ is getting compressed. If you feel tight in your SIJ try this! Just get a small towel roll, lie on your back and place it on the edge of your tail bone. Bring your knee up (on the same side as the towel) u...ntil your thigh is just past vertical. Hold onto your knee and gently push down through your knee. Experiment with the angle of pressure until it feels great! Hold for 30-60sec. Any questions feel free to post below! #physionorth #dancephysio #sijpain #stiffsij See more

Quite often dancers will feel tension in their back or legs prior to class, however stretching these areas for long periods before you dance is not the answer. Prolonged stretching can decrease the ability of that muscle to work when you begin class, which increases your chance of injury. So how do you relieve this tension?
