Your PT is not judging you… But if the shoe fits 👀

Which slide called you out the hardest? Be honest.

Today, a gymnast came into my office and mentioned that her normally regular menstrual cycle had been off.

And I was SO proud of her for recognizing that this was something important to tell me.

We spend a lot of time talking to athletes about strength, mobility, injuries and performance. But we need to be talking about menstrual health, too.

A menstrual cycle is an important vital sign in female athletes.

Changes in a previously regular cycle can be an early warning sign of inadequate fueling, which can affect hormonal health, bone density, recovery and athletic performance.

Does an irregular period automatically mean an athlete is underfueling? No. But it absolutely warrants a conversation and sometimes further evaluation.

Coaches, parents and healthcare providers: Let’s normalize these conversations.

And let’s teach our female athletes that understanding their bodies is just as important as training them. ❤️

💕Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We spend a lot of time talking about breast cancer detection and treatment, but not nearly enough time talking about what happens AFTER.

We see women years after surgery who are still dealing with symptoms they’ve simply learned to live with.

Nerve pain. Elbow pain. Limited mobility. Postural changes. Difficulty returning to exercise.

These symptoms are common, but they aren’t necessarily something you have to live with forever.

Your incisions healing doesn’t mean your rehabilitation is complete.

You deserve to move well, get strong, and return to the things you love doing. 💪🏻

More training. Inadequate fuel. What could go wrong? 👀

For gymnasts, being tired, constantly sore, menstrual cycle changes, struggling to recover, or dealing with repeated injuries can easily get brushed off as “part of the sport.”

But sometimes, your body is telling you it needs more fuel—not more grit.

RED-S can affect energy, recovery, hormones, bone health, and performance.
You can’t build a stronger athlete by running on empty.

Save this + share it with a gymnast, parent, or coach who needs to hear it. 🤍

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month!

Unlike some other cancers, there isn’t a routine screening test for ovarian cancer for women without symptoms—and a Pap smear does NOT screen for ovarian cancer.

That’s why knowing the symptoms, knowing your family history and knowing what’s normal for YOUR body matter.

Bloating. Pelvic pressure. Feeling full quickly. Changes in bathroom habits. Back or abdominal pain.

Most of the time, these symptoms aren’t cancer. But if something is new, persistent or simply doesn’t feel normal for you, don’t ignore it.

Save this one. Share it with the women in your life. And never be afraid to ask your healthcare provider questions when something in your body changes.

🗣️Hills I will die on…

Not all extension based back pain in gymnasts is a stress fracture.

Not all pars defects on radiographs are acute stress fractures.

Athletes with an acute stress fracture can and should start PT ASAP.

A stress fracture in the spine is not the end of a gymnastics career. Athletes can build back stronger than before!🤸🏼
