Performance Plus Physical Therapy

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. 🩰

This is a story that every dancer has gone thru.

The difference is the thing that's on the line.
For me that was missing out on being able to go home for my grandmother's funereal

I had already started my dance program at and couldn't leave to go home

So when I got hurt, I was immediately lost.

I expected the physical challenges, but not like this .
Noone ever spoke to me about injuries - it was never mentioned.
And now that i was here , this was a mental and emotional challenge that I had idea of how to handle or any solutions.

The scariest place for a dancer to be is injured - because suddenly in the blink of an eye - everyone you hold dear in on the line.

And you have to battle that along with

The fear of falling behind.
The frustration of not recognizing my own body.
The quiet panic of wondering if I’d ever get back to where I was.
And in all of that, I kept thinking:
𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.

Not just the injury.
But all the things that was on the line - including my identity

For me finding that person at the Ailey School was a life changing moment
Not only was i able to perform in my solo, but

the relief of understanding there was a fix
the gratitude of understanding
and knowing that I wasn't alone was the support that I needed to successfully finish my program

So many dancers are going through this exact experience…
with no real support for the emotional side of being injured.

That’s the role that stayed with me.
Because rehab isn’t just about healing from an injury
It’s about helping someone rebuild trust in their body.
It’s about being seen in the middle of uncertainty.
It’s about guiding someone back — not just physically, but mentally.
That’s what I’ve built my work around.
In building Performance Plus, you’re not treated like just an injury.
You’re supported like a performer navigating one of the hardest parts of your career.
Because your comeback isn’t just physical.
And you shouldn’t have to go through it alone. 💙

If you’re navigating an injury and feeling stuck in more ways than one — let’s talk.

You’ve been doing this all wrong… and it’s probably why your foot still hurts.

Your plantar fascia doesn’t need more irritation — it needs precision

With 4 layers of muscle to target, we need a different approach to get a full release.

Find the soft tissue behind the ball of your foot.
Place the lacrosse ball there,
Shift your pelvis forward so that your weight in on your front foot -
Roll from 1st to the 5th metatarsals

𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙩:
For the back of the foot place the ball right in front of the heel , again shift your weight forward to get that sustained pressure and roll from one side of the heel to the other.

Be sure to breathe as you go thru this - the goal isn’t to get as much pain or pressure as possible, but to access the deeper layers so you can get the stretch you need that’s going to help with your heel and foot pain

I grew up dancing, singing, and playing musical instruments — performing was my entire world. I also suffered from exercise induced migraines that would come on when we had long days of dancing and rehearsing in preparation for shows. I remember one specific time that I felt this headache coming on in the middle of an important rehearsal, and as much as I fought to hold it off, it won.

And I was devastated.

As a performer, you've been here before

- the frustration that comes when your body stopped obeying your commands
- the shame that you've lost control
- the fear that you'll never get that opportunity again to perform

I was fortunatne to have my dance teacher, Ms. Patricia Roe be my guiding light in that instance. She pressed on different points on my hands and made my pain go away

That planted a seed to connecting someone moving my body to feeling better and being able to perform

I went into physical therapy because I knew there had to be a better way to care for performing artists — people whose bodies ARE their career. Today, I am that better way. Performance Plus Physical Therapy was built from that exact gap and experience.

To fix what’s been holding you back.
To prepare your body for your next challenge—whatever that looks like.

So don't wait until it’s too late.
