After many years of treating and rehabilitating injured dancers, Christine Keller saw a void in the fitness regimen of most dancers. Knowing she had a toolbox of valuable knowledge to help dancers prevent injury and increase longevity she designed a cross-training, strengthening program based in physical therapy principles and body mechanics to improve each dancer’s technique and decrease the likelihood of injuries. DancerFit by Metaphysio offers a unique fitness experience that will help any dancer (or non-dancer) achieve the flexibility and strength needed to perform with ease and freedom.
