My daughter is working on cast to handstand. She is super flexible and is using her feet to get her momentum to go up into a handstand. In the process, she has a huge arch in her back. Her coach continues to let her do this and tells her not to arch but my daughter says she doesn’t know how to not arch. I’m concerned this isn’t healthy for her back. Should I be concerned about how she is being trained?
 
Excessive arching in a cast handstand can definitely lead to injury.
