Specialist Care For Dancers & Performers

Dance places extraordinary demands on the body—extreme flexibility, repetitive movements, explosive power, and the pressure to perform through pain. At Dance Chiropractor Sydney, Petros Vournelis has spent three decades providing specialised musculoskeletal care that keeps dancers moving, performing, and thriving on stage.

30+ Years Supporting Sydney's Dance Community

Petros has built trusted relationships with dancers, choreographers, and performing artists across Sydney. From classical ballet to contemporary, musical theatre to commercial dance, he understands the technical requirements and injury patterns specific to each discipline. His expertise in dance technique allows him to identify when pain stems from biomechanical restrictions, muscular imbalances, or movement compensations.

Comprehensive Dance Injury Treatment

Dance chiropractor services effectively treat:

Hip pain and restricted turnout
Knee pain from jumping, turning, and landing
Ankle sprains and foot injuries
Lower back pain from lifts and extensions
Shoulder pain from partnering work
Chronic overuse conditions and tendinopathies
Acute stage injuries and muscle tears
Technical limitations from joint restrictions
Pre- and post-performance body maintenance

Integrated Treatment Approach

Petros combines chiropractic adjustments, osteopathic manipulation, remedial massage, and acupuncture with dance-specific rehabilitation. His movement-first philosophy addresses not just where it hurts, but how technique, training load, and body structure interact to create injury.

Treatment includes:

Manual therapy to restore mobility and alignment
Soft tissue work for muscle tension and trigger points
Movement analysis to identify technique-related issues
Dance-specific strengthening and flexibility programs
Injury prevention strategies for long-term career health
