Flip For Function offers therapeutic gymnastics and occupational therapy. Their mission is to unlock potential by strengthening minds, bodies and confidence of children impacted by physical, cognitive and mental challenges, through exercise & fitness so they may experience a sense of belonging and achievement and push past limits in all areas of their lives.
Chasity McMillan, the founder of Flip For Function, is an Occupational Therapist, earning her Doctorate of Occupational Therapy from Belmont University. She is a USA gymnastics member and has coached all ages, levels and abilities up to Pre-Team. She managed a large gym club in California for 10 years, where she zeroed in on her passion for teaching others about the benefits of gymnastics, how to engage with children of all abilities and needs and make gymnastics accessible for all. In CA, she developed a gymnastics program in partnership with a local OT clinic, involving adapting and modifying skills as well as training coaches on best practices for inclusion. Now, she has brought inclusive gymnastics paired with OT to Middle Tennessee with the founding of Flip For Function.
