Gold Coast Physiotherapy for Dancers, Singers & Performers — Unleash Your Full Potential

Specialist Care for Performers, By Professionals Who Understand

Whether your child is preparing for her first time en pointe, you’re an aerialist managing a niggly shoulder, or you’re a vocalist dealing with fatigue during a busy vocal load, generic sports physiotherapy often misses the specific demands your body is under. At Artistic Sports Physiotherapy, we work exclusively with dancers, singers, acrobats, aerialists and performers across the Gold Coast – understanding not just your injury, but your training schedule, technique, and performance goals. Having toured on professional shows, we’ve developed the same return-to-performance framework used on world-class productions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t recommend Renee at Artistic Sports Physiotherapy highly enough. I originally came to her for vocal unloading and have been so grateful for the care, knowledge and support I’ve received.

As a performer, director and singing teacher, my voice is such an important part of both my work and my life, and it’s incredibly reassuring to work with someone who genuinely understands the physical demands of voice use and how the whole body can contribute to vocal tension and function.

Renee is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and intuitive, and I always leave feeling a noticeable difference in both my voice and the tension through my neck and jaw. I’ve felt genuinely listened to and cared for throughout the whole process and am so grateful to have found someone I trust with such an important part of my health and work.

I would absolutely recommend Renee, particularly to singers, performers, teachers or anyone experiencing voice-related tension.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Renee is an exceptional physiotherapist. After seeing several physios, she is the first one who truly understands the physical demands of dance and how important it is for my daughter to return safely and as quickly as possible. Her treatment is comprehensive, combining targeted exercises, massage therapy, and personalised home programs. Renee's expertise, encouragement, and understanding of a dancer's needs have made a huge difference in my daughter's recovery. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

Renee has helped me countless times first with my L4 disc slip which was advised that I needed surgery instead she helped me avoid having to have surgery. She has also Helped me with shoulder problems caused from strenuous exercise. She is extremely friendly and always does her best to squeeze me in when I hurt myself.

What the pros say........

"I am Max Oliveira, Brazilian, 32 years old. I am a professional dancer and worked with Renée during the Lion King Australia Tour from 2013 to 2016. As a high level dancer there are so many challenges you take on, and having support from a great physiotherapist is one of the most important things you need on a 8 performances a week show. Renée wasn’t only the best professional to take on that role but the greatest human being, able to listen and look beyond the physical needs, which is just the perfect attribute for someone who is dealing with artists. My life was better because of Renée during our tour. As an acrobat I had so much pressure on my body and Renée not only helped me to get over some injuries I had during the period but mostly important helped me to prevent them from happening. Renée, I’ll forever miss your needles!"

Frequently asked questions

What age can I begin pointe?

Usually 12 years old. Research has found, ideally you need to be older than 11, have been training for at least three years and attending class at least three times a week. Beginning too early could mean you put excessive load on a growing body, encourage poor technique and risk injury.

Do I need a referral to book?

No. A physiotherapist is a primary care practitioner therefore no referral is required. You may have been referred from your GP, ENT or other allied health professional, in which case you can bring any correspondence with you to your appointment.

Do you treat hypermobility and EDS?

Yes. At Artistic Sports Physiotherapy, we offer specialised care for individuals with more than average mobility. This includes generalised joint hypermobility, connective tissue disorders and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). We understand the unique challenges these conditions present, and tailor our physiotherapy approach to support your needs. With our strong background in treating hypermobile athletes, dancers, and gymnasts, we are uniquely positioned to provide expert care to the hypermobile community.
