age requirement for pointe...

Dr Sidney | Orthopaedic Surgeon on Instagram: "When wearing high heels, most of the body’s weight moves to the front of the foot. The toes bend downward and the bones are squeezed together, which can cause pain and foot problems if done often. In ballet pointe position, the dancer stands fully on the tips of the toes. The bones are tightly pressed under extreme pressure, and even with years of training, this can still lead to injuries. #dance #ballet #women #health #explore What are your thought
