5 . Dance Science Screening Performing Arts Medicine The Screening and Profiling Service, open to all students at Institute of the Arts Barcelona, is a unique aspect of the student experience. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SCREENING? Assess your level of body control and balance Performing artists spend many years training from a young age to achieve extreme levels of skill and artistry and this will inevitably take its toll on the body. Expert advice and support is essential to address the cause of any discomfort or pain and prevent recurrent symptoms causing unnecessary time loss and a decrease in performance quality. Track your training progress and goals Address potential injury risk Awareness of your optimal performance potential Individual one-to-one feedback sessions and a personal report will allow you to apply the latest theories and research findings directly to your personal artistic practice. WHAT IS PERFORMING ARTS MEDICINE? Performing Arts Medicine (PAM) is a field of medicine devoted to the care and support of all performing artists. It has been established internationally for more than 30 years, and it is growing rapidly within all disciplines of healthcare. At IAB Health we are proud to have on board practitioners with an indepth knowledge of the vocabulary and the techniques involved in diverse range of disciplines, as many of the physical symptoms that performing artists encounter will have their roots in the particular postures and techniques related to their discipline. PHYSIOTHERAPY The majority of physical restrictions start with poor control and alignment of the joints, which in turn affects the proper functioning of muscles and nerves. Physiotherapy combines advanced manual techniques with specific exercises to treat the joints and soft tissues, helping you restore normal function, flexibility and control.
