On this week's episode of The Dance Docs I sit down with Dr. Caitlin Alexander PT. Caitlin and I connected a few years ago through a mutual friend and we quickly bonded over our past history as dancers and current love for triathlon. She has helped me through many of my own injuries and I am so thrilled to sit down with her to discuss running for dancers. Caitlin is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to running for dancers, whether it’s how to safely introduce a dancer to running, or what ways dancers can build the strength needed for running, and so much more. I hope that you enjoy this conversation with Caitlin, and if you want to check out her great dance videos, or even more information on running check her out on instagram @caitalexander.

On this week’s Episode of The Dance Docs I sit down with Dr. Kathleen Davenport to discuss your questions surrounding cross conditioning, and discuss these questions as well as ideas that we give to many of the dancers that we treat.
