Health and Wellbeing

The Health and Wellbeing Team are on site every day to support students. The physical wellbeing team consists of two physiotherapists, a recovery and injury prevention tutor, and a Pilates tutor. Pastoral care is overseen by our Head of Medical and Wellbeing and Student Support Lead.

Students can contact the Health and Wellbeing Team for support with their physical needs. We are passionate about fulfilling students potential at all stages of the rehabilitation process. This support is provided by all members of the physical wellbeing team. Physically, the focus is on preventing and treating injuries while maximising strength, coordination, and control to ensure sound technique and performance.

We believe injury prevention is vital in maximising our students performance. The Wellbeing Team works with students and staff to prevent injury. This involves one to one appointments looking at technical corrections, class observations, and supplementary training.

Central’s approach is to maximise dancers’ potential by being attentive and proactive to both physical and mental health underpinned with kindness and care. Early intervention is the key to maximising all students’ potential.

Physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function if a student dancer is affected by injury or illness while helping to reduce the risk of injury in the future. It is a holistic approach aimed to improve physical activity and performance.

Sometimes training in the elite framework may be intense, so Central has established a tiered approach to mental wellbeing to support students towards personal fulfilment with the ability to evolve as part of training, ultimately developing lifelong health and wellbeing strategies.
