As a middle aged dancer, Sharon Gary gave me a set of
integrative and holistic tools to find a new strength in my body
that will allow me dance for another forty years!

Sharon Gary takes the time to watch you as you perform your warm-up, barre, repetitive movements and choreography. She can pinpoint a dancer’s unused range of movement, weaknesses, where and how unstable joints might be problematic, as well as where the dancer may be pushing past her own body’s limits in a harmful way. Not only will you gain more knowledge about your body at Yoga Physical Therapy, you will learn how to prevent injury and what to do should you re-injure.

With her highly trained eye
and her training in dance and yoga as well as standard PT,
Sharon Gary is capable of picking up subtle problems in movement patterns that are often missed by other therapists.
