Always remember to listen to your body and don't just 'push though' pain, our bodies deserve better 😊💪 Gymnastics skills can be uncomfortable for our bodies, especially as you get older, but training should not be damaging.

Ever been sore 1–3 days after rehearsal without a clear moment of injury? You may be experiencing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). DOMS is the muscle pain and stiffness that follows unaccustomed or increased load. It's often felt as a dull ache, heaviness or tightness in the muscles you’ve worked most. This is a normal part of how the body adapts. While not an injury, it can temporarily reduce strength and range of motion, impacting performance and increasing injury risk if not managed well. It’s especially linked to eccentric work like landing jumps, lowering with control or repeated floorwork. To support recovery: progress load gradually, allow adequate rest, use active recovery and consider strategies like cold water immersion or compression. If soreness isn’t improving after a few days or doesn’t match your training load, check in with a physiotherapist.

KNEE-HAB 🦵🍗 This is simply to start a CONVERSATION. A conversation that I’ve had with so many loved ones and friends who have been through the same thing. It’s taken me nearly 2 years to feel like I could share this. The reality of performing is that we are ATHLETES. Most castmates I’ve worked with have either had injuries or managed niggles during/before/after shows and yet we are systemically taught to hide this inevitable part of our art. Don’t get me wrong- I NEVER take a show off unless I REALLY need to. I came back from surgery and didn’t take a show off. I had the most incredible team supporting me; my sister-in-law and full time physio/therapist of 10 years @rebeccaella + @zoebrestphysiotherapy (BEST in the biz on the West Coast), @performancemed (BEST in the biz on the East Coast), my beautiful fiancé, Lexy, my family, friends and @tande.management . I spent on average 3 hours a day for nearly 3 months at the gym/walking in the water with my elderly friends. But there comes a time where we must prioritise and listen to our bodies over pride/reputation. You don’t get a medal for being a hero, especially when an incredible swing is often itching to go on and can do the job at 100%…and if there’s not, a respace is not difficult and in most cases won’t affect the audience experience. We need to educate younger dancers about insurance (I had no idea about dance insurance/personal injury insurance prior to this, pre-hab, sustainable training and sustainable performing habits- and that it IS okay to take a show off if you really need to. Here if anyone needs a chat, is going through something similar or has other thoughts on this! Thanks for coming to my TED Talk ❤️ ▪️Choreo by @veronicabeattiegeorge
