About Dance & Performance Services.
Dancers, Singers, Musicians and various performers who depend on their body to perform will from time to time need maintenance treatments or pain relief from a variety of different practitioners. This may be a drummer needing a chiropractor for pain they have in their back or a singer needing some specific massage to address tightness in the anterior neck muscles limiting their full vocal range, perhaps even a dancer needing acupuncture for tendonitis in the foot.
Catherine Tiney has a network of contacts to co-ordinate practitioners for individuals and groups in Sydney and other cities around Australia. This includes Remedial and Sports Massage, Chiropractic, Acupuncture and sometimes other services if required.
With experience on the road as massage therapist for dance troupes, travelling through Australia, Europe, Canada and America, Catherine understands the performance lifestyle and treatment requirements. While on tour she co-ordinated other practitioners, either as volunteers who wanted experience or as additional services as required, such as doctors or physios.
There are some performance companies who understand the value of maintenance treatment and employ practitioners ahead of time or have people who travel with them and there are others who are on a tight budget and need practitioners ASAP when someone is injured. In this case it can be hit and miss as to the quality and experience of the practitioner when the production team are left to find someone at short notice. This is why Catherine sees it as important to know a number of experienced, skilled therapists to ensure someone will be available.
If you are a performer, production team or a practitioner requiring Remedial or Sports massage, Chiropractic or Acupuncture please contact Catherine on 0414 988 321.
