Manage episode 298896415 series 2964945
Amanda Huke-Smith, performer and physiotherapist, gives an applied perspective on injury management. We discuss differing injury risks, research, and support in various genres of dance, and potential ways of overcoming injury stigma through normalising injuries. Amanda chats about the importance of developing an injury skillset, suggesting both physical and psychosocial strategies for dancers to develop, and shares what she wishes she could tell her younger self based on what she knows now.
