Support for Gymnasts & Trampolinists

Gymnastics is one of the most demanding sports when it comes to physical control. It requires strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and an incredible level of body awareness — often from a very young age. With many gymnasts still growing and developing, the physical demands of training can sometimes lead to imbalances, injury, or overuse issues.

Because gymnastics places such high stress on the body — particularly on the shoulders, wrists, spine, and hips — it’s important to take a proactive approach to injury prevention and recovery.

At Active Balance, we work with gymnasts of all levels, from beginners through to competitive athletes, to help them stay strong, supported, and confident in their movement.

What We Focus On

Our team of practitioners combines hands-on care with tailored exercise programs and expert advice.

This may include:

• A thorough assessment to look at movements and identify any underlying issues.
• A personalised plan that may include mobility work, strength training, and manual therapy — all geared toward the specific demands of gymnastics.

We can focus on improving joint mobility, correcting imbalances, building strength (especially through the core, shoulders, and wrists), and enhancing flexibility to reduce injury risk and improve performance.

Hands-On Care & Performance Support

Our practitioners often use a mix of techniques including soft tissue therapy, cupping, joint mobilisation, dry needling, and stretching — always tailored to the individual.

We understand that for many young athletes, training is a big part of their routine — so we do everything we can to keep them doing what they love, while supporting their body to handle the load.

If you're needing help with injuries, niggles or imbalances, we're here to help! Book a time with one of our practitioners to keep you training & competing.
