Athletic trainers and physical therapists with our Harkness Center for Dance Injuries, provide numerous outreach, educational, research, and clinical services to the performing arts community through our Dance Injury Prevention Programs. We treat performers at their theater or studio and provide early interventions for orthopedic injuries. We offer the performers we care for priority referrals into NYU Langone’s extensive medical network for further evaluation and care when necessary.
