Across dance genres, the rigors of training and performing can take a toll on a dancer's mind and body, leading to injuries. Dance Injuries: Reducing Risk and Maximizing Performance presents a holistic wellness model and in-depth coverage of how to reduce the risk of injury in dance and how to care for injuries properly when they do occur.

Written by an international team of experts in the dance medicine and science field, including physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, researchers, and dance educators, Dance Injuries provides an overview of common dance injuries across a wide variety of dance styles. From their extensive work with dancers, the authors provide valuable insight into minimizing dance injuries to maximize dancer longevity.

The text offers practical ways to reduce the risk of dance injuries. Conditioning, flexibility training, nutrition, hydration, recovery, and rest are addressed. Additionally, a chapter on holistic wellness helps dancers apply a wellness mindset to their training and performance.

Dance Injuries is richly illustrated with nearly 200 full-color illustrations and 150 photos to help dancers connect with the essential information the book offers. Armed with the understanding gained from the book's medical diagrams, dancers will be motivated to adopt habits to reduce the likelihood of an injury.
