Summary: Beryl Dunn, who died before publication of this book, qualified as a physiotherapist in 1950 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. The daughter of a distinguished orthopaedic surgeon, she soon started to specialise in this branch of physiotherapy, working successively at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, the Children's Hospital, Boston, and St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London. It was at St. Bartholomew's that she first came into contact with ballet dancers and began to take an interest in their injuries. In 1959 she was appointed resident physiotherapist to the Royal Ballet Company, London. During the last 14 years she had a unique opportunity to get to know the dancers and study their problems and accompanied them on tours in both the U.S.A. and Russia. In this book she records some of the lessons gained from this experience for the benefit of teachers of dancing and those engaged in the treatment of ballet injuries. -- Book Jacket
