Part of the NYU Medical Center and Health System,
the Hospital for Joint Diseases has been specializing in the treatment
of patients with various orthopaedic, rheumatologic and neurologic
ailments since it was founded in 1906. The Harkness Center also
provides care for a specialty population - that of the student,
amateur and professional dancer. Through a process of comprehensive
medical evaluations with physicians and therapists, factors contributing
to the dancer’s dysfunction are discovered and discussed with
the dancer. Functional treatment programs are then planned with
an emphasis placed on preventative maintenance programs tailored
to each individual dancer’s needs.
