Synopsis

This guide to injury among dancers claims that the cause is often a fault in technique which is not identified by the teacher before actual injury occurs. While prevention is preferable, appropriate treatment is vital to the dancer's career. The book is divided into five sections: anatomy and physiology; injuries - pathology, causes, treatment, prevention, which describes injuries in general; specific injuries - their cause and treatment; strengthening exercises, and finally, technical faults and anatomical variations - their causes, consequences and treatment.
