Caldwell Therapy Center Specialized Programs

Performing Arts Program

Caldwell Therapy Center runs one of the first multidisciplinary programs in New Jersey that addresses the specialized needs of the performing artist, and related arts professionals.   Most performance related injuries are those that collectively are called repetitive strain injuries.  All too often they become apparent after the second or third decade of an artist's career - just when they are reaching the apex of their performance ability.   Performance related injuries can also be forced upon an artist  - for instance when manipulating parts of an ill-designed costume for weeks or months. 

Our program is directed by a pioneer in this field, Nina Paris, OT/L, CKTP™.

Nina is also Founder and President of The International Foundation for Performing Arts Medicine - A non-profit organization established to raise funds for injury prevention programs and to disseminate information pertaining to Performing Arts medicine.
