title: Physiotherapy and ballet dancing.
abstract: The relationship of the physiotherapist to the athlete and dancer is twofold; he must be both teacher and healer. A teacher not only in exercise programmes, in the use of their tools of trade, their bodies and its bio-mechanics. A physiotherapist looking after ballet dancers must be a trained observer in movement and have an awareness of the movements that are required by a dancer.
