Dance physiotherapy & performance optimisation in Berlin.

Evidence-based physiotherapy and performance optimisation for dancers and performers.

I speak your language: turnout, extreme ranges of motion, repetitive load and the pressure to keep going. That is why I focus on:

  • Technique-aware assessment
  • Evidence-based. No guesswork, no trends
  • Return-to-dance plan: from treatment table to stage

How it works.

From first message to your next goal, you always know the next step.

  1. First Check-Up

    We schedule a free 30‑min call to talk about your current situation and what you want to achieve. Plan selection is part of this step: together we choose the plan that suits you best.

  2. Live screening

    A live movement screening of your technique, strength, mobility and training load, so your plan starts from facts, not guesswork.

  3. Work and progress

    We work through your plan together, with regular check-ins to track progress and adjust the load as your season changes.

  4. Goal assessment

    We review your progress against the goals you set at the start and plan your next steps, from the next season to keeping your body ready.

Together we bridge the gap between clinical physiotherapy and artistic performance by combining the science of recovery with the art of movement.

Trusted by dancers like you.

  • “As a professional pole dancer, I came to Sandra with a long-lasting shoulder injury that I had been struggling with for over a year. She relieved my pain in every single session and helped me rebuild strength and mobility so I could keep progressing. I now, finally, understand proper back muscle engagement. I keep sending fellow dancers her way because, without her, I don’t think I could’ve continued to teach.”

    Charlotte G.Professional pole dancer

  • “With Sandra, I knew from the beginning that I was in good hands. She has an amazing eye for what I need and somehow always finds exactly the right exercises for me and my body. Before working with her, I had basically never set foot in a gym, and now I actually enjoy going! I feel stronger than ever, but I’ve also learned that getting stronger doesn’t always mean pushing harder. Sometimes, taking a break is just as important.”

    Lotte M.West Coast Swing dancer

  • “Training with Sandra has been a true game changer. After just a few months of joining her contemporary classes, my dance practice had already picked up a lot: from feeling stuck to being more confident week by week. In her one-to-ones she always creates a safe space filled with encouragement, passion and knowledge. With Sandra also being a fantastic dance physiotherapist, you and your body are in the best hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Hi, I’m Sandra.
Physiotherapist, lifelong dancer.

For over a decade I’ve worked with professional dancers, companies and creative athletes. I know the studio from the inside, so rehab never ignores your art. My work is evidence-based, and it starts from the whole person, not just the injury.

Common questions.

Can’t find your answer? Just send me a message and I’ll get back to you.

Do I need a doctor’s prescription?

For physiotherapy at Via Physio Mitte a prescription (Rezept) may be needed depending on your insurance, or you can come as a private patient. Coaching and training never need one.

What’s the difference between physiotherapy and coaching?

Physiotherapy is medical treatment for an existing injury, booked through Via Physio Mitte on Doctolib. Coaching is for dancers who aren’t necessarily injured but want to improve technique, build strength and stamina, or prevent injuries before they happen. It’s available in person or online.

Do you work with dancers who aren’t injured?

Yes. A large part of my work is prevention and performance: improving movement efficiency, building the physical capacity dance demands, and catching small issues before they become injuries.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. Movement coaching and training guidance are available online as well as in person in Berlin.

What languages do you work in?

Sessions are available in English, German and Swedish.

Do you work with companies and schools?

Yes. Alongside individual coaching and treatment, I run workshops and classes for dance companies, schools and teachers, covering dance medicine, athlete training and evidence-based training principles.

Do you work with children and pre-professionals?

Yes, pre-professional students are very welcome. For dancers under 18, a parent or guardian joins the first appointment.

How long does recovery usually take?

It depends on the injury, your training load and your performance calendar. After your first appointment you get a realistic return-to-dance timeline, and we adjust it as you progress.
