Dear Gymnasts, Parents, Coaches, and Medical Providers,

Welcome to the Nonprofit Gymnastics Medicine. We are a group of gymnasts, parents, coaches, and medical providers who created a nonprofit comprised of a collaborative team of specialized, healthcare experts who drive research, evidence-based outcomes, and education around gymnastics-specific injuries to transform the diagnosis, treatment, and preventative care of gymnasts.

Our goal is to create an evidence-based resource center and materials for gymnasts, parents, coaches, and medical providers on gymnastics specific injuries including but not limited to the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and education.

We will provide educational materials that can be found on our website, and through our monthly “Grand Rounds” and annual in person lecture. We will feature leaders in the field of Gymnastics Medicine as well as provide training materials for medical providers.

Gymnastics Medicine: Education and Research will be your go to spot to learn about your injury when you are diagnosed as well as your go to spot to prevent injuries, learn nutrition tips, gain mental confidence and strength, and more!

We will feature monthly “Grand Rounds” meetings where we invite gymnasts, parents, coaches, and medical providers to come together for a 45-minute multidisciplinary approach to a gymnastics specific injury and then join separate groups (gymnasts, parents, coaches group 1 and medical providers group 2 as we break down the topic even further as it pertains to each group).
