Episode Synopsis

🩰 New Episode Alert! 🎙️ This week on the Dance PT Podcast, we dive into a lesser-known injury in dancers—Turf Toe! 🦶

While commonly associated with athletes on the field, this condition can also affect dancers, limiting their ability to perform jumps, turns, and even basic footwork. Learn how to recognize, treat, and prevent this injury in your dancer patients.

Understanding the biomechanics of Turf Toe in dancers is crucial for proper rehabilitation. As physical therapists, we need to address not only the localized pain but also the functional movement patterns that could lead to this injury. 🏥
