Trinity Physical Therapy & Wellness

Going through old photos from my senior year of high school and stumbled upon this one from my senior solo 🤍✨ Instantly brought me back to a season of life filled with rehearsals, big dreams, hard work, and a love for dance that never really left.

Dance helped shape who I am, and it’s pretty special looking back now as a dance PT and realizing I still get to be part of this world—just in a different way. Helping dancers continue doing what they love is something younger me would have thought was pretty cool 💃🏻🫶🏻

Thought I’d share this little throwback moment 🔥

💥MYTH BUSTED: Turnout doesn’t start at your feet.

😖 If you’re gripping, forcing, or trying to “open” from the ankle… you’re actually setting yourself up for pain, not better technique.

🤯 True turnout comes from the deep hip rotators—tiny stabilizing muscles that create controlled, sustainable rotation (not forced rotation).

🔥 When dancers focus on turnout from the hip instead of over-rotating at the knee, ankle, or foot, technique improves AND injuries decrease.

Your hips are the powerhouse. Your feet are just along for the ride. 🩰

✨Choreographing my next year with peace, joy, purpose, and a whole lot of rhythm 🎶

🥂Cheers to another year of dancing through the highs, lows, and everything in between 💛

👢Stepping into this new year with gratitude — for the art, the movement, and the privilege of caring for the performers who trust me with their bodies and their dreams 💜
