Using R.I.C.E first aid measures can relieve pain, limit swelling and protect the injured tissues  all of which help speed healing.

Stop if you feel pain. Continuing to dance will only make the injury worse.

Routine exercise and stretching can help prevent overexertion.

Immediate treatment for overexertion is to stop the task or activity and rest.

Good posture is one of the reasons why we experience overexertion.

Hypothermia is a rise in core body temperature while hyperthermia is a drop.

Low cost measures like light dressing, wet clothing, keeping wet with sweat, fans, air conditioning are very effective in preventing hyperthermia.

Hydration, also called water excess or water intoxication, is a condition in which the body contains too much water.

Water is one of the most vital, performance enhancing nutrients dancers require, and the more energy a dancer expends, the greater their fluid needs.

Dehydration occurs when your body does not have as much water as it needs. Without adequate, your body cannot function properly.
