HEALTH & WELLNESS

Essential Care for Peak Performance

Health and wellness are crucial for ballet dancers, as maintaining peak physical condition and preventing injuries are essential for their demanding training. Proper nutrition, conditioning (including weight training, yoga, and pilates), and self-care support longevity and sustained excellence in their careers. Therapists specializing in both physical and mental health are vital to dancers, to prevent and treat injuries, manage stress, and maintain overall well-being, enabling dancers to perform at their highest potential.

Specializing in Orthopedic Post-rehab and Neuromuscular dysfunction.

Owner, Marilyn Miller was a professional ballet dancer with a BA in dance from the University of Utah/ Suny. When her career resulted in numerous injuries, Marilyn was inspired to become a pilates instructor by her experience at The Center for Dance Medicine in San Francisco, recognized as the country’s first medically based Pilates based rehabilitation program. Upon moving to New York, she was surprised to discover this approach was not common. Having experienced both physical therapy and a rehabilitative Pilates regimen, Marilyn fully understands where and how pilates fits into the whole healing and rehabiltation paradigm.
