A BIT ABOUT THE PROGRAM

GENERAL FAQ
-
No, I do not. For many reasons I do not support the insurance based PT model. Also, what I provide here is NOTHING like traditional PT. My programs are HSA/FSA eligible.
-
What I provide at The Gymnastics PT is a great alternative or supplement to traditional PT. Based on my knowledge as a former NCAA gymnast, coach, judge, and Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of gymnastics specific PT experience; I am able to coach your gymnast through the injury recovery process and provide her with SPECIFIC exercises for her injury and the demands of her sport. I believe in coaching the WHOLE athlete. From mental struggles, to injury prevention needs, to rehab. I know the big picture matters. Longevity in gymnastics and BEYOND is the goal. Please take a moment to check the many testimonials for a better understanding of the benefits of this program.

-This is a great question. The most important things your gymnast can do are: get 8+ hours of sleep a night and eat a well balanced, whole foods diet. Their body needs rest to recharge and energy from food to heal. I also HIGHLY recommend utilizing Red Light Therapy as a healing tool. I am a huge proponent of avoiding ibuprofen and medications on growing bodies and utilizing natural healing and pain reduction techniques as much as possible. Red Light Therapy has been proven to help with decreasing chronic inflammation, promoting cellular turnover, and speeding the healing process for both illness and injury. You can find my FAVORITE red light HERE. I partner with this company because this is the closest you will get to a medical grade device, in fact a lot of medical offices use THIS DEVICE. It is low in EMF exposure and high in near infrared and red light frequency - which is the PERFECT combination.
-When you sign-up for the program, I also provide a detailed program guide that has other helpful tips to help with injury recovery.

I totally get it. I was an injured gymnast myself, and I know the emotional toll it can take when she can’t do the thing that brings her the most joy or participate with her friends. My program not only helps her work through the injury itself but also provides guidance and support for developing a positive mindset throughout the recovery process. By helping your gymnast set realistic goals and focus on the progress she’s making, she can come back even stronger than before. She’ll also gain access to a private forum where we can chat through the ups and downs of recovery… The Gymnastics Edge Community is a supportive space for gymnasts and parents to connect, share experiences, and stay encouraged along the way.
FULL SCOOPE RECOERY FAQ

Each day has a list of the equipment needed. It is minor, inexpensive equipment. For example: ½ and full foam rollers, long and small loop bands, light dumbbells, exercise balls (small and large). You can find all of my commonly recommended exercise equipment HERE.
-
You will get an email directly from me with information for the next steps, including: a full program guide, steps for a movement assessment, questions about your gymnasts preferred 1:1 small group coaching call, off day, gymnastics skills, and more. This is a really in-depth, custom and high touch program. Your email will be curated to you.
-
Throughout the program, I encourage your gymnast to take ownership over her gymnastics and recovery process. I suggest that throughout the program, she finds a secure place to write down exercises that are the most helpful for her, compiling a list of 10 exercises or more by the time the program is over. Those will serve as her maintenance program and something she can utilize in the future. Once the program is complete, she should be feeling good and ready to roll into the Prehab & Performance Program which is a monthly injury prevention and strength training maintenance program. You can find details on that program HERE. The majority of my clients choose to continue enhancing their gymnasts by participating in that program after completion of their injury recovery program.

Full Scope Recovery Success Stories
Don’t just take my word for it, hear it from gymnasts and families who have participated in the Full Scope Recovery Program!
“I would highly recommend working with Brittany Lapinski for any gymnast with an injury. Through Brittany’s exercise therapy program, we experienced a combination of strength and rehabilitation that we had not seen in previous recoveries. The plans were tailored to my daughter’s specific needs and injuries. We saw not only an ability to recover from injury but also experienced strengthening and confidence to progress as a competitive gymnast. Brittany's attentiveness and response to questions and follow-up was superb."
– Mom of a Level 8
“Everyone should have a PT like Brittany – she's incredible. She understood the unique injuries and mental aspects of gymnastics. After a virtual assessment, she created a customized, full-body plan that not only corrected my daughter’s hip flexor pain but also improved her mobility and strengthened weaker areas. The plans were challenging but doable – and a complete success. Now that my daughter is back in 'fighting form,' we know we have a true expert in our back pocket who cares. We are so grateful for Brittany!"
– Mom of an Xcel Dimond
She was so frustrated and ready to quit before your program. Even after graduating from your one on one months ago, she still does the exercises daily. I see her warming up with them before she tumbles and vaults, doing them at home on her off days, and using her extra time while she waits on her sister at the gym to do other exercises and stretches. She sees the benefits in the program and continues to use them. I can’t thank you enough for the time and effort you put into her. You have continued to be available to answer questions and cheer her on in her gymnastics progression. I also catch her watching your videos for more ideas so I know that she knows you know your stuff"
– Mom of an Xcel
“While she may have been one of your most quiet and stubborn customers she still continues to do your exercises. I truly believe that she only made it through this season due to your rehab.
B was finally able to start working with Brittany in May after being non-weight bearing for 7 weeks. The funny thing was B’s surgeon wasn’t even recommending PT because he said their goal would just be to get her walking and she was already able to do that. Thankfully, we already had Brittany and she had a plan to help B safely return to the gym. The return is slowly happening and Brittany has been so encouraging and I absolutely love that we can message her with questions and concerns before, during and even after practice. She has lived the life and she GETS IT! That fact alone is worth everything! Gymnastics is a unique sport that is just as much mental as it is physical and having an expert who understands the physical mechanics and the mental ones is INVALUABLE! I tell B all the time that her gymnastics journey is unique and she has a story to tell, we are both so thankful that Brittany is a part of that story!"
– Mom of a Level 10
“Ever have one of those interactions with a person where you just know that person is supposed to be a part of your life? For our family that is exactly what happened with Brittany.
“They see a complete stabilization of her spondylolisthesis - yay! He (her orthopedic physician) was asking her about pain and ongoing PT and said the main thing moving forward is to manage pain and that PT is the first line of defense. We talked about the work she's been doing with you and the fact that her back has been relatively pain free for the past two months and that she feels your exercises have really helped. So, kudos to you because whatever you have her doing for her back really seems to be working and he said to just keep up the good work."
– Mom of a Level 8
“I also wanted to let you know I really appreciate your program for another reason. She is doing in person PT for this shoulder, and she does not get the same PT at each appointment, so they aren’t seeing her progression from one visit to the next. She’s going the typical twice a week, and I ca’t even get her in or the next 2 weeks because they’re so booked. That’s not consistency in treatment. I’m so grateful she has you and your program. I truly appreciate your knowledge, consistency in progressing with her, and the availability for her to do her PT exercises with you when it’s convenient for her. Money well spent in my book! No regrets!!"
– Mom of a former Level 8 & now competitive swimmer.
“I wasn’t sure her body could handle any more gymnastics. Much less her goal of 3 more club and 4 of college. What a difference 7 months of full scope rehab makes. She literally is a different kid 😭😭🙌🏻. thank you thank you thank you!!!! So thrilled you are in her village!!!!”
