Dance Physiotherapy Melbourne

Carlee Mellow is Flex Physio’s dedicated Dance Physiotherapist. She has built a strong reputation for providing the highest level of care that can only come from her extensive experience of training, teaching and performing as a dancer herself. As a member of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science, she combines her clinical expertise with personal insight, integrating scientific-based clinical medicine with dance-specific rehabilitation and training. This enables her to create personalised rehabilitation programs for dancers, helping them to manage injuries while continuing to train and perform.

Carlee works with professional dancers from renowned dance companies Chunky Move, Lucy Guerin Inc., and Stephanie Lake Company. She is a Physiotherapist for the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) Dance and is guest lecturer of applied anatomy, somatic practices and conditioning. She works closely with directors, choreographers and teachers to advise on injury prevention, load management, and exercise prescription, ensuring that dancers maintain peak physical condition and minimise injury.
Her experience also extends beyond the professional realm, recently supporting her daughter through the transition to ‘en pointe’ in preparation for the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School (VCASS), highlighting her ability to work with developing bodies and guide young dancers through the challenges of growth and training.
