Many dancers, as well as others, have recurring injuries, sprains, back problems, etc. Physiotherapy, medical care, training, and management modalities help for a while but the problem reappears again and again. Why?
In this presentation I want to concentrate on connections between organic malfunctions and specifically related structural aches and injuries, focused on typical dancers problems.
Applied kinesiology as a primarily diagnostic method and tool will be briefly introduced. The AK combines contents of “orthodox medicine” with acupuncture, osteopathy, and homeopathy in an integrating way and so offers additional and refined diagnostic possibilities. Especially latent malfunctions and those that cannot be properly found by our “classical” technical methods can be discovered. Reactive connections between organs and specifically associated muscles have been found. I shall demonstrate some important connections and a few brief case reports of dancers. What has chronic cystitis to do with ankle sprain? Could it be that recurrent Achilles tendonitis can be maintained by stress, burnout and the related exhaustion of the adrenals? And why is healthy food also important for the lower back?
With this presentation I would like to:
- Encourage dancers to perceive and to take serious her/his physical (and mental) conditions on all levels and to communicate them to her/his health providers.
- Suggest to dancers’ health providers to notice and be aware of those possible connections and to do further research and investigations in this field.
This is the abstract of a paper presented at the Tenth Annual Meeting of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science, held 27-29 October 2000 in Miami, Florida, USA. All rights are reserved by the individual author(s).
