THEATRE, PERFORMANCE & DANCE MEDICINE

A Long History of Experience...

Not a stranger to the stage himself, in the 1960s Dr. Breuer took a particular interest in the problems facing performers in the New York City Area. The problems particular to dancers especially intrigued him. Knowing that 'The Show Must Go On!' approach drove most performers to find many alternative methods to 'get well quickly'... or adapt, and quick timelines seemed to be the way to go, he combined this experience with that of sports medicine approaches in later years.
In the 1980s the facility was housed in a former elementary school which had a wooden stage.. perfect for the testing and training of performers.
Our primary experienced performing arts health care team consisted of MDs, Chiropractors, occupational therapists, a physical therapist, massage therapists, a nutritionist and a hypnotherapist.
Our group serves all of the performing arts and are the 'company physicians' for major theatrical and dance groups, locally and for travelling companies.
Performers from around the country have come the center for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries as well as to enhance performance.
