Why train for the Performing Arts?

Dancers and skaters are prone to lower body injuries, such as sprained ankles and pulled muscles, like hip flexors and hamstrings. Gymnastics injuries commonly involve the arms and back, while musicians deal with repetitive motor issues due to posture and positioning. Aurora BayCare Sports Medicine's Performing Arts Program is designed to prevent these injuries, thus maximizing time on stage.
