Episode 39: Interview with gymnastics PT expert, Marla Ranieri




Life in a Leo show

Summary: <p>This week on Life in a Leo, I interviewed Marla Ranieri, a physical therapist specializing in gymnastics. As an elite gymnast herself, Marla completely understands what these athletes go through and what they are striving for. She is working to make sure injuries don't keep them from reaching their dreams.  This is done by performing an injury prevention assessment to find out what strength, range of motion and biomechanics deficits a gymnast has that may put them at risk for certain injuries.  </p> <p>It was fun to learn what got Marla to this place in her career and what she is working to do to improve the care for gymnasts going forward.
