One of the coaches asked if he could examine one of the injured gymnasts. With the help of Jenn Sonneveldt from Sky Valley Gymnastics and his wife Sara, the head coach at the gym, they developed a program for working with athletes directly in their gym. This program has expanded to several gyms and Dr. Eldridge travels the country giving clinics on nutrition, injury care, and landing technique. Dr. Eldridge is the inventor of The X Brace, designed to help alleviate the pain caused by Sever's disease. He has also assembled a protocol that is key in eliminating Sever's disease and returning athletes to the gym.
