Gymnastics: Common Injuries


6/23/2009 5:00pm - 6:00pm

Because injuries are an all too common gymnastics event...

Register now for a seminar that will keep injury out of the routine.

Did you know gymnastics has one of the highest injury rates of all sports? From fractures to concussions, there are more than 85,000 gymnastics-related injuries every year. What can you do to keep your gymnast on the vault, bars, floor or beam and out of hospitals, doctor’s offices, clinics and emergency departments?

June 23rd, come to a free seminar where sports medicine physician, Jason D. Brayley, MD will review common injuries and share the latest information on prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Hear his expert recommendations for strength building of key muscles and learn what’s involved in concussion management, including the five-step evaluation process that must be completed before a gymnast is medically cleared to return to training and competition.

To register, call Mel Korum YMCA at 253.460.8954.
