Innovative Workshops and Lectures
For Dancers, Dance Educators and Healthcare Professionals
As a former ballet dancer for over 25 years, Dr. Bluestein truly understands the dancer's passion for dance as well as the physical and mental demands that accompany this challenging art form.
Dr. Bluestein specializes in hypermobility disorders (extreme flexibility) which are more prevalent in dancers. These complex conditions can influence the frequency and severity of injuries as well as have an impact on almost every system in the body.
