Appropriate, Affordable and Accessible
Helen strongly believes that Dancers need to be looked after by practitioners who understand Dance.
Diagnosis, Treatment and Rehabilitation
Of all the population groups, dancers are the most challenging and equally rewarding to treat. More than any other sports professionals or athletes, these individuals usually need to be 'better yesterday', carry multiple complex injuries and often have the fewest resources to look after themselves despite the enormous demands on them.
Helen enjoys rising to this challenge and appreciates the immense dedication and determination these individuals demonstrate. Helen applies all of her combined knowledge to her care of dancers and makes every effort to give them information and advice that they can use to enhance their recovery and performance.
Helen trained as a dancer and dance teacher and brings this experience and understanding to her work.
