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 a great ALTERNATIVE or SUPPLEMENT to 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.

Depending on the day the exercises can take between 20-30 minutes. Most of the gymnasts in my programs are full-time students and train 20+ hours a week. They tend to fit in their exercises before, after, or during practice. Some girls split the exercises up throughout the day to get them done or even do them between their turns at practice.

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.

-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.

You will get an immediate email from Everfit with a link to create an account and activate the Program. From there, the app will guide you through the intake forms and Program Guide. It will explain EVERYTHING. All Targeted Programs will begin the FOLLOWING Monday after the purchase date. You can still activate the account immediately to get familiar with the app.

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.

This is a 3-month program commitment. The program should be done in-order and followed consistently throughout the 3-month period of time. You will have access to the app and the program for the 3-months during your program enrollment time period.

Yes, as long as your gymnast has Internet and app access. You will need minimal equipment so you may need to bring a few things, but I provide an equipment list at the beginning of the program so you can plan ahead.
