Competing as a level 9 gymnast, Lauren started experiencing hip and leg pain. After a visit to an Orthopedic Surgeon, she was diagnosed with Iliac Apophysitis. Lauren was in constant pain in her hip area. She felt like she had a “dead leg” and would throw out her leg when she walked. She had troubles with her take-offs, landings, and tumbling while doing gymnastics.
Once Lauren started therapy with Brandi, her pain became more manageable. Brandi worked on stretching and strengthening the muscles around the hip area. Then, flexibility and strength improved for Lauren. Lauren competed injured most of the season but with Brandi’s help, she was able to manage the pain before and after competitions. Lauren competed at the Westerns National Competition in Des Moines, Iowa and took 7th place All Around for her age group! Thanks for all of your help Brandi!
