InJury Prevention Programs
Targetted and specific injury prevention programs have been shown to be effective in reducing injury rates in sporting populations. Carter Blair physiotherapy can provide these planning, education and reccomendation for Programs, Squad/Team groups, and individual gymnasts as required.
This process is different for each program, as needs necessitate, but begins with an overview of the history of injuries, goal setting for the program, and logistical information gathering. The gymnasts are then screened for current injuries, past injuries and other factors that may increase risk of injury, which is used to inform the specific plan. Regular reviews are then completed to update these plans as needed. These plans are written in consultation with the coaching team, gymnasts and family.

A child’s growth and development are wonderful things to watch, track and celebrate. However, sometimes kids just aren’t keeping up with their peers.
