    So You Want To Run

    On this week's episode of The Dance Docs I sit down with Dr. Caitlin Alexander PT.  Caitlin and I connected a few years ago through a mutual friend and we quickly bonded over our past history as dancers and current love for triathlon.  She has helped me through many of my own injuries and I am so thrilled to sit down with her to discuss running for dancers.  Caitlin is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to running for dancers, whether it’s how to safely introduce a dancer to running, or what ways dancers can build the strength needed for running, and so much more.  I hope that you enjoy this conversation with Caitlin, and if you want to check out her great dance videos, or even more information on running check her out on instagram @caitalexander.

    Should Dancers Cross Condition?

    As the dance season is winding down and we move into the summer months I always get lots of questions surrounding off season conditioning. Questions like  What conditioning should I be doing? How many days should I be working out? Is running the best way for me to get cardio in? And the list continues. On this week’s Episode of The Dance Docs I sit down with Dr. Kathleen Davenport to discuss your questions surrounding cross conditioning, and discuss these questions as well as ideas that we give to many of the dancers that we treat.

    The Foot Bones Connected to the Hip Bone

    On this week’s episode of The Dance Docs I am joined by Jay DIcharry PT out of Oregon.  While Jay may be known in the running community for his book Running Rewired, he has spent plenty of time working with dancers, and has an in-depth knowledge of lower extremity kinematics.  He helps to paint an understanding of how the foot and hip function together and can independently work as drivers of the lower limb, we dive into the spiraling needed for the lower extremity and why the correction of lifting your arches could be locking up a dancer's ability to move freely.  I loved my conversation with Jay and I hope that you do too!

    Understanding Energy Deficiency in Dance

    On Today’s episode I am joined by Dr. Emily Kraus who is a sports medicine physician out of  Stanford.  Emily is the Director of the Stanford Female Athlete Science and Translational Research program, known as FASTR. The FASTR program seeks to help close the gender gap in sports science research with an emphasis on early identification and interventions to prevent injury and identify ways to optimize performance in female athletes. We sat down to discuss relative energy deficiency in sport better known as RED-S, we talked over common clinical presentations that clinicians may be able to identify, what clinical tests and measures can be used, and how energy deficiency can affect the athlete physically and mentally.

    Taboo Topics: Pain, Weight, and High School

    On this week’s episode of The Dance Docs Dr. Davenport and I sat down to discuss some popular but unpopular topics such as when to use pain theories when treating patients, why are we still taking weight on screening tools, and is it worth the risk for a dancer with a history of injuries to attend a performing arts high school?  We thought it was important to start answering some of these harder topics for you that historically avoided or pushed off to the side.  I hope you enjoy our conversation.
