Today on the PerformHappy podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Brittany Lapinski, better known as The Gymnastics PT, to talk about something every gymnast, coach, and parent needs to hear: how to prevent injuries and recover stronger when setbacks happen.

Dr. Lapinski shares her expert insights on building a mindset that prioritizes injury prevention and long-term health. She explains how gymnasts can avoid common mistakes that often lead to injuries, while also giving practical tips for recovering both physically and mentally. Her approach focuses on helping athletes trust their bodies, make smart choices, and stay resilient through challenges.
