It really is important to see a doctor for injuries especially if they get worse. I always had an attitude of wrap it, ice it and push through it. I now have Achilles tendinitis due to not properly resting when I was injured. I'm still dancing but I have definite restriction of my ankle flexibility now and it takes a lot of massage work to even help with pain. Not much I can do now considering it's chronic but I do say, pay attention to your body. The best thing to do is prevent these things from happening. Great article!

Especially this time of year with rehearsals and ballet exams and the high risk of dance injuries. Great article! It seems that this topic cannot be written about enough.
