Physio for circus performers
Whether you’re an acrobat, aerialist, contortionist, or pole artist, our circus-experienced physiotherapists can support pain and injury management, guide safe training and performance decisions, and help you feel confident in your body, so you can keep performing, touring, and doing what you love.
How our circus physio can support you
While every session is individualised and guided by your goals, symptoms, and performance demands, we’ll typically focus on the following concerns in a session:
Acute pain management when you need to perform soon
Injury management and return-to-performance planning
Load management during intensive training or touring
Movement strategies for contortion, aerials, and pole work
Strength and capacity work that supports performance demands
Exercise recommendations when training needs modification

Why performers choose our Cirque physiotherapist
Our performance physiotherapist, Jess, and senior psychotherapist, Brittany, have experience working with circus performers, dancers, and creative athletes, and understand the unique physical demands of circus performance, from gymnastics-based skills and handstands to contortion, aerials, and pole work. They’re experienced in supporting bodies working with high flexibility, hypermobility, fatigue, and sustained performance pressure.
They understand that rest isn’t always an option in circus and performance-based work. Her approach helps performers manage pain and injury while continuing to train, rehearse, perform, and tour, with care shaped around real-world performance demands. We’ll provide clear guidance, considered treatment, and practical strategies that support not just your next performance, but a safe and long career.
