Dani West holds a BA in Dance with Distinction (Contemporary Stream) from the University of Calgary, a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta and her Teacher Training Certification in Classical Pilates. Her dance training has included a wide variety of genres including tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary and African dance and has been an instructor in the Calgary community since 2007. She currently holds her Grade 9 Al Gilbert Tap Certification as well as her Intermediate Level in the RAD Ballet Syllabus. Dani is the owner of Indepth Physiotherapy; a practice that prides itself on “using movement as a modality” with a strong interest in dancers and chronic pain patients. She also is the author and creator of the YouTube Channel, THE SOAPBOX- an online physio-based platform she designed for the purposes of educating patients and colleagues about movement tools, treatment ideas and injury prevention topics that she uses daily in her practice. Dani is a strong advocate that more studios should model themselves around a multifaceted approach to pre-professional training. Quality- not quantity- of dance training- is a key concept that is often overlooked can be one of the main precursors to overuse injuries. Dani is adamant that by introducing other elements of training- such as anatomy, injury prevention and cross training- that it will not only aid in the reduction of injuries but add to the efficacy of a dancer’s training regime.

Chronic Pain AssessmentNew patient
“Struggling with Chronic Pain? We know chronic pain is a different beast. It requires a different type of assessment and treatment that often cannot be accommodated for in a regular clinic. We want to allow extra time to hear your story and give you a customized treatment plan that will be appropriate for you and your pain levels. We want enough time for patient education and to start you back into moving safely and in a supported way. Quite often the body will be afraid to move- or forget how to move properly. We can use clinical pilates as a way of helping re-train the nervous system and the body to start moving again.”
