Lillian Hicks, DPT – Vital Motion Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is not just for the injured dancer, it’s for every dancer! Whether you're recovering from an injury, preventing one, or striving to enhance your performance, I’m here to help you reach your fullest potential.
Hi, I’m Lily Hicks, Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of Vital Motion Physical Therapy. As a former ballet dancer myself, I understand the unique demands of the art form and the importance of building strength, flexibility, and injury resilience. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Concordia University Wisconsin in 2023, with a focus on supporting dancers and performing artists in achieving their best.
Having worked with dancers at top institutions like the Joffrey Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet Academy, and Colorado State University, I offer individualized treatment plans that prioritize injury recovery, prevention, and performance enhancement. My goal is to empower dancers to not only recover but to perform with greater strength and longevity in their craft.
Whether you’re working through an injury or looking to take your performance to the next level, I’m here to help you elevate your dance journey. Let’s work together to make every step a healthier, stronger one!
