Going en pointe is an exciting milestone in a young dancer’s journey but it’s also a big step that requires strength, control, and proper preparation. A Pre-Pointe Assessment helps determine if your dancer’s body is ready to safely begin pointe work.
Our physiotherapists assess key areas such as ankle strength, core stability, posture, flexibility, and overall technique. This thorough evaluation ensures your dancer has the foundational support needed to progress without injury.
We work closely with dancers, parents, and teachers to provide clear guidance, personalized exercises, and ongoing support—so when the time comes, your dancer can rise en pointe with confidence and control.
Pointe work should be a joy, not a risk.
