You can fix the pain without fixing the problem AND then the problem comes right back.

Hi šŸ‘‹ Iā€™m Brittany Dr. Brittany Lapinski || Gymnastics Physical Therapist - former NCAA gymnast & Doctor of Physical Therapy gymnastics specialist for injury prevention and recovery.

Iā€™ve been a physical therapist specializing in gymnasts for 15 years.

I did a lot of things wrong when I first started, but I learned, changed, adapted, and got so good at my craft that now I deliver it in a program online so that more gymnasts can have access to the rehab they need to not just heal but get back in the gym!

Comment ā€œHEALā€ šŸ‘‡ā€” letā€™s get her thriving in the gym again šŸ«¶šŸ¼

There is a time & place for medicationā€” but letā€™s let the 90ā€™s die with the 90ā€™s when we used to take 2-5 Advil just to survive practice. It didnā€™t bode well for a lot of us!

If your gymnast is in pain, she needs to get evaluated by a physician & 99.9% of the time is lacking strength, stability, & mobility to do gymnastics.

Yes, conditioning is great for sport specific training.

Butā€”rehab is what gets to the nitty gritty and the root of why sheā€™s hurting to begin with.

Advil isnā€™t going to fix it, neither is a brace or ice, or adjustments or scrapingā€¦

Rehab is often the most skipped step because it requires your gymnast to do the extra work to get betterā€¦ but you know what, work works!

Itā€™s why you donā€™t see a single high-level gymnast or college gymnast skipping rehab or recovery. They do extra outside the gym, so they can thrive in the gym & stay healthy to train and compete.

šŸ¤øComment ā€œHEALā€ if Advil has become your gymnasts whole identityā€¦ if sheā€™s hurting, sheā€™s already injured or on the verge of an injury and I have a program to get her out of the cycle!

And if youā€™re new here, Hi šŸ‘‹ Iā€™m Brittany Dr. Brittany Lapinski || Gymnastics Physical Therapist - former NCAA gymnast & Doctor of Physical Therapy gymnastics specialist for injury prevention and recovery. Welcome to The Gymnastics PT ā€” the best place for gymnastics injury prevention & recovery šŸ«¶šŸ¼

If your gymnast has a Knee Pain (or has another injury)ā€¦ I have a rehab program for thatā€¦

Comment ā€œTRPā€šŸ‘‡and letā€™s rehabā€¦ SERIOUS inquiries only ā€” for gymnasts and families that are ready to invest in long-term solutions for their pain. I do not provide free programs or medical advice in my DMs.

If you donā€™t know meā€¦ Hi šŸ‘‹ Iā€™m Brittany Dr. Brittany Lapinski || Gymnastics Physical Therapist - former NCAA gymnast, Dr. of Physical Therapy and your injury prevention and recovery gymnastics specialist!

This my series called ā€œSo your gymnastā€¦. _____, NOW WHAT?ā€ ā€” I post a new injury every Friday so follow my page Dr. Brittany Lapinski || Gymnastics Physical Therapist & do some scrolling for more injuries!

Being an informed parent (gymnast & coach) is so important.

This sport is not easy to navigate and thatā€™s why Iā€™m trying to bridge that gap for you.

šŸ˜ Shameless plugā€¦
If your gymnast wants to prevent injuries and get stronger, Prehab & Performance is what she needs.

Itā€™s designed for gymnasts by a former gymnast. I understand the demands of this sport at a high level & the crazy gym scheduleā€” I lived it.

I designed this program to make sense for YOUR gymnasts life & sport with 4 days of quick injury prevention workouts and a strength building day on the weekends!

This is way different than the conditioning sheā€™s doing at the gym, and is designed to compliment her training without overtraining!

Comment ā€œP&Pā€ to join!

Okay ā€” go do something fun outside this weekend! šŸ¤øā€ā™€ļø

Comment ā€œTRPā€ because if sheā€™s injured still, itā€™s not getting better simply with more time & a prayer.

Injuries arenā€™t convenient. They also arenā€™t bad luck. What you do about an injury is a choice. Action creates change.

The right action is likely staring you in the face (especially if youā€™re reading this).

Well that got weirdā€¦ but for real šŸ‘‡

If your gymnast is already saying her back hurts or her ankle wonā€™t stop swelling or her wrist feels painful every time she vaults ā€” sheā€™s on the brink of a complete roof leak (aka season stopping injury)!

I work with gymnasts every day that let the pain go on too longā€¦ now they have a fracture, surgery, major back injury & we have to completely shut them down & build back up.

Donā€™t wait until your gymnasts house is floodedā€¦ take care of the issue when the damage is still easily fixed without a full home remodel šŸ˜‚(Iā€™m literally dying at this analogy and how my brain works).

Comment ā€œHEALā€ ā¬‡ļø and letā€™s get your gymnast feeling strong, confident, and pain free going into season!

Investing in the roof now, can save you from needing to buy a whole new house later! šŸ˜˜šŸ šŸ¤ø

Does your gymnast have knee pain?

Are you following along this 5 part series?

If so, Iā€™m glad you are here & I hope youā€™ll stick around because we are tackling cyclical gymnastics related knee pain because NO gymnasts should have pain be the thing that stops them!
