What Hospital or Physical Therapy Clinic Works With the Houston Ballet?

Question by M: What hospital or physical therapy clinic works with the Houston Ballet?
According to their website: “Physical therapy works closely with HBII’s to assist in all injury assessments”. I used to dance and would love to work with dancers or at least get some observation hours with the physical therapists who work with the dancers. The website is vague about which doctors or hospitals work with them, only stating that doctors are involved with the dancers injuries and training.

With ballet companies as big as Houston Ballet, there doesn’t tend to be one specific clinic or hospital that works with them. A lot of times there’s a handful from different clinics/hospitals that have a lot of experience working with dancers. Because any old sports medicine doctor will not have the knowledge and finesse it takes to work with dancers.

My recommendation if you’d like to gain observation hours and eventually work there, is contact their HR Department. Explain especially that you are an ex-dancer as that will definitely help get you in the door. And don’t be afraid to name drop. The ballet world is so small and everyone knows everyone else…so don’t be afraid to use any friends or acquaintances you have to help get you in either.
