In some recent interviews with dancers Dr. Davenport MD and Dr. Kat PT realized that dancers have been limiting and modifying their movement much more than we expected. Whether it was due to space, floor surface  or just some extra time off dancers have decreased their jumping, and big movement across the floor. This is something that many dance medicine professionals were concerned about when we realized the length of time dancers would be out of the studios due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  As dancers begin to transition back into the studios whether it’s a professional dancer returning for rehearsals, a collegiate level dancer returning for the fall semester, or a studio dancer ramping up their training for the year; there is a high risk for stress injuries.  Dr Davenport and I discuss two stress related injuries that we are concerned about seeing, how they develop, and how to progress back in a safe manner to avoid them.
