Perth’s Gymnastics Physiotherapy Experts
Do you love Gymnastics but constantly find yourself unable to practice due to pain or injury? The frustration of injury getting in the way of training becomes draining and truly takes the fun out of the sport. AppliedMotion Physiotherapy are experts in helping gymnasts become pain-free while helping develop a plan to minimise flare-ups and increase skill development through proper strengthening and flexibility programming specific to your athletics needs.
2023 -2024-2025 Australian Championship
At AppliedMotion Physiotherapy & Podiatry, gymnastics isn’t just something we “treat”, it’s what we are experts in.
Our team has proudly supported the WA State Gymnastics Team, providing on-site physiotherapy and injury management, and we have travelled with the team to the National Championships in 2023, 2024 and 2025. This level of involvement means we don’t just understand gymnastics injuries, we understand gymnastics as a sport, including the demands of training, competition schedules, and the physical and mental pressures paediatric clients face.
"Just Rest" isn't the answer
“Just rest” isn’t the answer. Deep down, you know that, and so do we. At AppliedMotion Physiotherapy, we replace that generic advice with comprehensive assessment and treatment plans, enabling us to create a “gymnastics-specific” road map for your active and accelerated recovery.
Get us on your team so you can stop “waiting it out” and start making progress back to the activities you love today.
The Long Term Fix
Any lingering weakness or tightness that remains will leave your gymnast’s body vulnerable to further injury. Maximising strength and flexibility in the right spots will not only reduce the risk of injury but will maximise skill development in the gym. Our therapists are experts in program development creating strength and mobility routines to complement current training to ensure performance is maximised. This means more height on leaps, better lines with handstands, and increased power with tumbling to allow your gymnast to continue to flourish in the sport.
