Gymnastics Physical Therapy

Because Flipping, Tumbling, and Twisting Demand Precision

Gymnastics is unlike any other sport—it demands flexibility, balance, explosive power, and total-body coordination. At Ares Physical Therapy, we specialize in working with gymnasts of all levels, from beginners to Olympic hopefuls. With Dr. Elizabeth Ngutse’s personal experience as a gymnast and active coach at Wisconsin’s top Olympic development gym, our approach is rooted in true sport-specific understanding. We don’t just treat injuries—we understand the movements that caused them and build smarter ways to return stronger, safer, and more confident on the mat, bars, beam, or floor.

Why Gymnasts Need More Than Generic PT

Gymnasts deal with hypermobility, repetitive strain, and high-impact landings that demand precise rehab. Injuries to the wrists, ankles, spine, and shoulders require expert-level attention and sport-specific protocols. Generic rehab routines won’t cut it. At Ares, we tailor plans to the unique movement mechanics of each gymnast, addressing muscle imbalances, flexibility needs, and technique breakdowns to promote longevity in the sport.

Our Unique Approach to Gymnastics Rehab

We work with coaches and athletes to create rehab plans that blend seamlessly with ongoing training. That means fewer missed practices and more intelligent return-to-sport strategies. Our goal isn’t just to heal the injury—it’s to improve performance, enhance control, and reduce re-injury risk. We provide education, ongoing feedback, and injury prevention strategies that elevate how gymnasts train and perform. With Ares, gymnastics rehab isn’t just about getting back on the beam—it’s about mastering it.
