Testimonial

"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.
