“Cross-training for dancers is vital.
As a dance medicine physical therapist, I specialize in getting dancers back to the studio and stage as quickly as possible after a dance-related injury. The Ellové Technique is a valuable way to incorporate principles that I use every day in the clinic. Each Ellové class addresses the multi-faceted strength, power, flexibility and precision that dancers need. I recommend Ellové as a dance-specific injury prevention program to keep dancers healthy in the studio, and performing on stage”.
-Amy Werner, DPT
“Ellové has helped me stabilize my shallow shoulder socket, strengthened my technique, and gotten me back into dancing shape quickly from injury. I always feel it if I miss classes for too long.”
-Brent Luebbert, LMT,
BodyVox Company Dancer
"I have been working out vigorously in a wide variety of ways for many years- spinning, biking, free-weights, step-aerobics, Zumba and more. Because of Ellové, I am learning about my body's infrastructure- the importance of small muscles for balance, and the attraction of slow, careful and intense movement, the deliciousness of stretching in ways that both conform to my body and enable my moving beyond previous limits. The choice of music throughout adds another layer of both interest and inspiration. When I tried yoga, I ended up feeling discouraged because of all the things I seemed unable to do. With Ellové I have only a sense of promise."
-Sherwin Davidson
"The Ellové Technique is relevant in today's dance culture. As a dancer, Ellové has improved my core strength and hyperextension issues. The well-rounded conditioning has improved my confidence through strengthening techniques, specialized exercises, and better body awareness. The instruction I received was very intuitive and mindful of my specific needs as a dancer. The Ellové Technique provides a superior opportunity to improve your performance."
-Maggie Semmens
"As a Naturopath, I treat every patient in a multifaceted way. I’m trying to find balance in their lives through diet, nutrition, exercise, and physical and hormonal symmetry. I have referred a lot of patients to Ellové, and every single one of them has thanked me for the suggestion. "
