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

  • 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 building that supports performance demands

  • Exercise recommendations when training needs modification

  • Targeted exercise recommendations 

  • Realistic Training modifications

Why performers choose AOK Keep Moving

Our performance physiotherapist, Jessica, and Brittany, have experience working with circus performers, dancers, and creative athletes. They understand the unique physical demands of circus performance, and are experienced in supporting bodies working with high flexibility, hypermobility, fatigue, and sustained performance pressure. They know rest isn’t always an option.

Our 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.
