Performing Arts Therapy
Like many athletes, performing artists often challenge and push their bodies to levels that put them at greater risk for injury. As a performing artist, you rely upon your bodies to make your craft possible. Unfortunately, the stress and repetition of practicing and performing can take a toll on your body. Unlike the average athlete, you are unable to wear bulky braces or too much tape – your body needs to reach an extreme range of motion, as well as maintain the strength of your muscles and endurance. We understand this, which is why Blue Ridge Physical Therapy is the preferred physical therapy clinic for a performing arts injury in Johnson City, TN. Request an appointment from us today and get on the road to recovery.
