While dancing and doing pointe work are not the sole causes of bunions, there are many factors involved that may increase their development. Some people are more predisposed to develop bunions than others, and there are plenty of people in the world who have bunions and who have never done a day’s dancing in their life! This brand new injury report will teach you the causes and symptoms of a bunion along with the best treatment and prevention techniques to keep you injury free!

Add to cartMORE INFOInjury Report – No More Knee Pain!
$20.00 AUD“No More Knee Pain” is the dancers guide to ‘Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome‘ (PFPS) which is a general term for pain around or behind the knee cap. It is very common in dancers of all ages, from pre-pubescent students through to professional dancers and retired teachers. It often creeps up on a dancer as a result of poor alignment and dynamic control of the lower limb, but may also occur as a secondary result of direct trauma or pain in the hip, knee or foot. It can become very persistent (chronic) and quite debilitating in some dancers.
Understanding what Patellofemoral pain really is and getting a good diagnosis are important first steps in learning how to recover from what can often be a recurrent injury. Knowledge is power, and taking some time to really understand the anatomy of the knee, how it is designed to work and what factors are contributing to the pain will give you a much greater chance of resolving the issue and to stop it from returning!
