I don't have an injury but
I heard about an Injury Prevention Program for dancers. What is
it?
Our Injury Prevention Assessment Program (IPA) is FREE and is designed
to educate dancers about how to avoid injuries by reviewing together
with them their style of dance and its technical demands and other
lifestyle issues, such as shoe wear, smoking habits and fitness
activities. A physical therapist will examine each dancer with a
battery of physical tests and then depending upon the unique findings,
provide preventative strategies for those tendencies. Each IPA session
lasts one hour and is by appointment. To schedule an IPA appointment,
call 212-598-6022.
The Injury Prevention Assessment Program is strictly
intended as a prevention and educational experience. If you currently
have an existing injury, you should seek medical attention with
one of our physicians by calling 212-598-6022.
How much does the Injury Prevention
session cost?
The Harkness Center is proud to provide this service to the dance
community at "NO CHARGE".
I have a prescription for physical therapy
from a doctor who is not affiliated with the Harkness Center. Can
I still receive physical therapy there?
Yes, The Harkness Center for Dance Injuries offers full physical
therapy services for dancers who have a prescription for physical
therapy from any New York State or surrounding area physician. Most
insurance plans are accepted. Please call 212-598-6054 to schedule
an appointment with one of our dance physical therapists. The prescription
must have been written within the prior six-months.
