A new partnership between Gateway Elite Gymnastics and Tailor-Made Physical Therapy is set to bring personalized injury prevention and recovery care to the St. Clair and Madison County area’s next generation of athletes.
Fairview Heights, IL, April 23, 2025 — Gymnastics takes grit. It tests the body, sharpens the mind, and asks young athletes to give it their all- day in and day out. That’s why Gateway Elite Gymnastics is proud to team up with Tailor-Made Physical Therapy, a trusted local provider known for custom rehab plans and proactive sports care.
The new partnership is more than a handshake: it’s a full-circle approach to helping young gymnasts stay healthy, confident, and in the gym where they belong. With tailored programs that include injury screenings, customized recovery plans, goal-oriented rehab, and open communication with coaches, this collaboration puts long-term wellness front and center.
“Gymnastics is about progress and passion, but safety has to come first,” said Donna, co-founder of Gateway Elite Gymnastics. “We’ve always believed in building strong athletes from the ground up, and this partnership reinforces that belief by offering real tools for recovery and resilience.”
Gateway Elite, known throughout USAG Region 5 for its commitment to technical precision and positive mentorship, has long prioritized the full well-being of its athletes. Their philosophy goes beyond routines and medals: it’s about fostering growth, both physical and personal, in every student. This partnership now gives families a clear path forward when injuries arise or red flags show up. Tailor-Made Physical Therapy, with clinics in Troy and O’Fallon, offers accessible care, free consultations for Gateway families, and the kind of community-based service that makes a difference.
“Helping kids stay active and pain-free is our passion,” a representative from Tailor-Made Physical Therapy said. “The earlier we spot issues, the better the outcome, and we’re proud to stand beside Gateway in that mission.”
“Gymnasts are incredibly driven, even at five or six years old,” added Joseph See, a representative from Gateway Elite Gymnastics. “We see how hard they push themselves. Our job is to protect that passion, not push through pain. Partnering with Tailor-Made helps us do exactly that.”
Young athletes often face burnout or setbacks from untreated minor injuries that snowball into major problems. By bridging the gap between the gym floor and the Physical Therapy table, Gateway Elite and Tailor-Made aim to keep kids moving-and moving well.
This collaboration means more than a health resource-it’s peace of mind. Parents now have a go-to place for answers. Coaches have another set of expert eyes watching over their athletes. And gymnasts? They get to keep doing what they love, with more support than ever before.
