Dance Physiotherapy Bunbury is a specialised service offered at Aspire Physiotherapy, tailored to the unique needs of dancers at all levels. From beginners exploring movement to elite performers preparing for pointe work, our physiotherapy helps protect your body and elevate your performance.
Starting pointe is a major milestone for many dancers. However, it requires more than age—it demands proper technique, strength, and alignment. That’s why we offer Pre-Pointe Assessment Physiotherapy designed to reduce injury risk and ensure dancers are truly ready for this next step.
Pia Jorgensen, our APA Titled Sports Physiotherapist, has a background in gymnastics and aerials, which gives her a deep understanding of the physical demands in dance. Her experience makes her a trusted expert in dance physiotherapy in Bunbury.
Telling a young dancer they are not yet ready for pointe work is never easy. However, early progression without readiness can lead to serious injury. The bones of the feet continue developing into the late teens or early twenties, so strength and control must come first.
With a proper pre-pointe assessment, we evaluate posture, alignment, technique, and overall readiness. This helps prevent long-term injuries while supporting the dancer’s goals. It also provides a clear plan for improvement—shared between the physiotherapist, teacher, parent, and dancer.
Statistics show that 80% of dancers face disabling injuries, but nearly all can be treated without surgery. At Aspire Physiotherapy Bunbury, our injury rehabilitation strategies are built around the unique biomechanics of dance.
We understand that dance is both an art and a sport. As such, our treatment approach is just as flexible—ensuring a smooth return to performance with a plan tailored to each dancer’s needs.

If you want to work on a specific movement, build core strength, or return from injury, our Dance Physiotherapy Bunbury program includes tailored conditioning sessions.
We also offer AxIT testing, a state-of-the-art performance assessment tool. It helps identify strength deficits, asymmetries, and biomechanical inefficiencies. With this data, we can design a program that reduces injury risk and enhances performance, ensuring every dancer moves with control and confidence.
