This PDF gives you the very first steps in creating good ankle stability which is much needed in this crazy sport we all love.
Phase I: Ankle Stability
This is the first step in getting your gymnast’s ankles more stable and performing at their best. This is exactly where I start most of my patients.
Phase II Ankle Stability
Phase I getting too easy? Phase II kicks it up a notch and will teach your gymnast’s ankles to be in control even under uncertain circumstances.
Phase I: Shoulder Stability
Hyperflexibility in the shoulders can sometimes result in long term problems for our gymnasts. Get ahead of the issue now and help your gymnast create rock-solid shoulders.
Phase II: Shoulder Stability
This is where a solid shoulder meets controlled movement. Gymnastics requires a lot of overhead control of the shoulders, and that is the focus of this program.
Shin Splint Care
Shin splints can be the some of the longest-lasting and irritating injuries of a gymnasts career. Follow these simple steps to get rid of shin splints once and for all.
Sleep Hygiene Checklist
No, this is not about telling your gymnast to put on deodorant before bed... Instead, this is a simple checklist to help your gymnast go to sleep fast and recover well.
At Home Conditioning
This program is not meant to be an addition to what your gymnast is already doing. Rather, it is a program for when your gymnast is away from the gym for extended amounts of time.
My Fans
