Injury Prevention for Youth Athletes
Empowering youth athletes to care for their bodies — and perform at their best
Book NowCare for Your Body. Elevate Your Performance.
Your dancer or youth athlete may be carrying hidden muscle tension that builds over time and leads to aches, stiffness, and injury.
In this 1:1 in-person session, they’ll learn how to identify tight areas early and safely release tension using foam rolling and myofascial release techniques — along with simple tools to manage emotional stress that can show up in the body.
This isn’t just recovery — it’s lifelong self-care to help them move with ease, prevent injuries, and perform at their best.
Each athlete will need a foam roller, tennis ball, golf ball, and a journal. Three sessions are recommended to allow ample time to work through the body and discuss techniques.

"My daughter loves dance but was struggling with tightness in her feet and calves that was causing pain in class. Shannon guided her through a targeted rolling routine. While it has only been a short couple of weeks, my daughter has seen firsthand the profound benefits of incorporating this into her daily practice.
It has helped elevate her performance and overall well-being. The routine targets specific muscle groups that are essential for intricate dance movements and has allowed her to reduce the risk of injury. She’s also been able to safely push her boundaries while reducing both pain and soreness.
Beyond the physical benefits, these tools encourage intentional and mindful practice, which improves mental clarity and focus while nurturing a deeper mind-body connection."

"My daughter’s foot was hurting during Nutcracker rehearsals and she had to sit out. Ms. Shannon sat down with Marlowe at her next lesson and expertly discovered her calf muscles were too tight. She had Marlowe pain-free quickly in just 1 session from doing release work. And I’ve seen Marlowe keep up with her calf releases at home or when she starts to feel tension. Marlowe knows what to do now!"

“Ms. Shannon helped me go on demi-pointe again without pain. I didn’t realize it was just tightness in my legs and feet. Thank you, Ms. Shannon!”
Where Do Tight Muscles Come From?
Besides repetitive use, a dysregulated nervous system, shallow breathing, chronic stress, and unprocessed emotions are often stored in the fascia. Over time, this creates tension and adhesions that pull the body out of alignment — leading to pain and injury.
This pattern is common in those who are:
-
Highly driven and goal-oriented
-
Perfectionistic or self-critical
-
Constantly multitasking or “always on”
-
Prone to pushing through fatigue or pain
-
Operating in chronic fight-or-flight
