Dancing Through the Pain: Physician Executive Launches New Business to Treat Patients with Chronic Pain (Profile‪)‬

Wilhelmina Korevaar, MD, MMM glides across the hardwood floor in her elegant floral print dress as dramatic Latin-flavored music blares from a small stereo system, filling the narrow room and spilling out open doorways to the cobblestone streets of Philadelphia's historic district. Brona Vrtalova, an award-winning dancer and instructor from the Czech Republic, wiry and energetic, leads Korevaar in her graceful moves, as each keep one eye on the dance studio's mirrored walls. Vrtalova is gentle but firm, pushing up Korevaar's shoulder muscle in an effort to keep her posture straight as she moves.
