Ballet Background and Specialisation in Dance Podiatry

• Technique correction and injury prevention
• Footwear and load management tailored to dancers

Rhianna enjoys supporting dancers of all levels to enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and return safely to training or performance following injury.
