    Off Topic Knee strenght

    Last Tuesday, i landed a front tuck on a hyperextended knee, which hyper-hyper extended it. I went to the doctor, i have pulled Some ligaments in my knee. Doc said it wasn't serious ans i could do what i wanted, as long as it is a pain-free activity. This prevents me from any landing not done in...

    WAG Knee "Prehab" Conditioning

    Does anybody know of good exercises to help with knee injury prevention? I'm working on creating a conditioning program for my college club team. We have very limited hours in the gym and in previous years have done essentially no conditioning. Last year we had two torn ACLs and a lot of...

    WAG Knees

    So, i am very flexible in nature, my knees too. When i think they are straight, they are bent, but the other way as other people, so my foot is above my knee instead of under. Is this a deduction in FIG rules?

    Parents OCD of the Knee - any success stories out there?

    Hello! My 10 year old daughter just finished level 7 and is training for level 8. She has been working through knee pain for a little while now. We finally got her in to see ortho.

    Knee injuries??

    Does anybody know how long a hyperextended knee should take to heal? I hurt mine about a month ago and I haven't taken any time off because of State and Regionals, so it really hasn't gotten any better. Has anybody else had problems with knee injuries?

    Hyperextended Knee

    About a month ago at practice, I was doing front tucks off of beam and I landed with straight legs. My left knee was fine , but my right knee hurt pretty bad. I wasn't able to walk on it well, and my coach had me ice it off and on for the rest of practice. It wasn't swollen or bruised. Leaving...

    Off Topic Knee injury?

    So I'm not sure exactly what happened with my knee but it just started hurting on the inner side of the knee cap (and under it). I'm not sure what tendon or bone or whatever it is but I have an MRI scheduled to check it out. So this is weird. Today at bars I was fine, except for having to do a...

    Off Topic Pain in knee?

    This isn't related to gymnastics at all but, it might affect my gymnastics. I have a meet on Saturday. But yesterday I was walking down the stairs at school and I thought there was another step but there wasnt. I must've hyper extended my knee or something. My dad said by the area of the pain...

    Parents crud - knee injury

    i was so hoping we'd get off injury free this year! last year dd rolled her ankle right (walking down the rod floor) before the 1st meet (5 days) and even though we ended up letting her compete, she only competed beam and bars b/c of minimal impact on her ankle and it was wrapped tighter than a...

    Parents Update: Jumper's knee (Patellar Tendonitis)

    Took my dd who is 8 to the orthopedic doctor today. She has jumper's knee and is not allowed any activity for 4 weeks. We go back October 5th. I asked if she could participate in conditioning with gymnastics. I was told a big NO. He thinks conditioning probably contributed to the problem. I...

    Parents Mean mom because of knee pain

    My 8 year old daughter has been complaining on and off for about a month about knee pain. We think she injured it working on her front tuck. Three weeks ago I took her to the doctor and they said the knee was inflamed. Told us to ice it, give ibuprofen, and rest it. We did that but continued...

    Parents Back with another injury question, this time the knee

    Well I hope that I don't only find myself posting about injuries but here I am with my second post and my second post about injuries. Does anyone else have a dc whose knee locks up? My dd has now had this three times in about 1 or 2 months. I saw it happen this time - she was doing handstands...

    WAG Tucks...knees in or out?

    Had a blast with our girls at the AT&T cup (more then I thought I would!) Question popped up and I have no idea what the answer is, so I figured who better to ask. Some girls were doing tucks with their knees in, some were doing them with their knees out (like the boys). Is there any reason to...

    Parents Rocktape knee caps reviews?

    DDs OSD has been flaring up a lot lately and these were recommended to me. Has anyone's kid used them? Are they any good, or just another gimmick? Also interested in any reviews on the actual rock tape. It gets awesome reviews online.

    Parents Knee pain in 5 year old DD

    My DD has been having pain in her left knee all week. She can still walk on it and is climbing trees as always but she said it hurts to run on it. Should I just let it rest and recover or take her to doctor? Thanks

    WAG Jumper's Knee?

    Have you had jumper's knee? Did you stay out of the gym, if so, how long? I can do bars and beam just fine, but my knee is unstable after 2-3 vaults and 5 tumbling passes.
