After making the decision to sell her dance specialty physical therapy practice in spring of 2022, Maribeth knew her next phase of practice would be to find a means to offer a wider number of dancers and allied health professionals a means to learn what it takes to develop successful treatment programs for dancers, and in particular the adolescent dancer.

A successful three-month transition to full telehealth during the early days of COVID demonstrated the possibility to reach patients and share knowledge successfully in a video or audio based live stream format. Thus, she is able to offer her depth of knowledge to those in a wide geographic area.

The purpose of Maribeth’s practice now is to offer a series of avenues to share her expertise.

These include:

• Consulting with physical therapy clinics that wish to infuse a dance medicine specialty into their practice.
• Zoom into a physical therapy session to offer suggestions on assessing and treating a dancer patient.
• Wellness programs for dancers of all levels to reduce risk of injury or re-injury.
• Limited acute/sub-acute care to serve as a bridge to therapists that may be less skilled in treating dancers and offer guidance to assure the dancer’s specific needs are addressed in a collaborative effort with their other providers.
• Continue to offer dance medicine workshops and dancer screenings to dance studios and conservatories.
• Dance medicine lectures to physical therapy doctoral and physical therapy assistant programs.
