    Oldest son (11) broke his ankle last night at practice. Got a cast on just in time to hop on the plane to Florida. He is so bummed but will cheer his brothers on. I feel so bad for him :(

    Ankle Injury? HC not being supportive??

    There’s this one older girl on my team who has had a reoccurring ankle injury ever since she pulled 3 tendons in her ankle a couple months ago. She’s 16 and a sophomore in high school. Shetypically does fine at practices with minimal pain. She wears an ankle brace at each practice and makes it...

    Coaches Specific uses for ankle weights on uneven bars.

    So, I've been mulling around the idea of using ankle weights on bars in a select few scenarios. I wanted to see what you guys have all personally had experience with. So, the first scenario would be to aid gymnasts training cast handstands with the legs together technique. I was thinking it...

    Off Topic High ankle sprains?

    I have a few questions about high ankle sprains. How would you rate the pain of a high ankle sprain and the cause of it? I twisted it doing some weird jump today, with severe pain in the beginning and moderate pain now. How is bruising? As of right now I have a small black and blue oval...

    MAG Ankle Exercises (really, hip down)

    My ds is really tight in his legs. He has tight hamstrings and calves. This is translating to pain in his ankles when he punches and lands. There is nothing wrong with his ankles. Any exercises/stretches/ideas? His therapist is helping, but thought others might know of gymnastic specific...

    WAG How hurt is my ankle?

    So yesterday I did the stupidest thing ever. I did a great backhandpsring on the low beam, then jumped off - and rolled my ankle. Okay, getting past that..... Anyway, I've wrapped my ankle up, but it still hurts a lot to walk normally or put pressure. Do you think it's just a roll? Or...

    WAG Gymnasts who roll their ankles

    Hi all, Does anyone have experience with gymnasts who tend to roll an ankle whilst practising? Do you take any measure/have advice to prevent it from happening? I'm sure I'm not the only one. The problem is that it's not necessarily just doing "big" skills, yesterday I managed it doing a round...

    Parents Ankle weights during beam training?

    So I watched practice for the first time in a month, and I noticed that DD and her teammates are wearing ankle weights during beam practice now. DD is 8, and a L2 moving up to L3. I am concerned about long-term injuries due to extra wear-and-tear and curious about the use of the weights. For...

    Parents ankle pain-- Severs?

    HI all-- I know I need to get medical advice from doctors :) but wanted to see with all other posts about severs, if anyone has a gymnast who had severs but the pain was mostly in the ankles not the heels. DD having severe ankle pain (both ankles) and is limping around-- has not tumbled or done...

    WAG colored ankle brace in competition?

    After some searching I can't find a definitive answer--do braces/supports that do not match the athlete's skin color incur a deduction in competition? On her PT's recommendation, my daughter has been wearing an ankle brace at practice (PT prefers the brace to tape because it is less...

    How to prevent a ankle injuries in the gym?

    Ankle injuries are very common in gymnastics ranging from sprains, ligament ruptures, fractures to dislocations but they should not be taken lightly as it can take an athlete out of training for a very long time. I learnt this the painful way, dislocating my ankle landing from a simple straddle...

    Ankle Dislocated

    Dislocated my ankle last week due to a bad landing, the left whole foot came out to a 90 degrees angle inwards. Got it put back at the hospital, luckily there's only a tiny chipped off bone, a small fracture that does not require any surgery. However, there's ligament and tendon damage that will...

    Parents Ankle pain

    While I realize that you can't diagnose over the Internet, I am hoping for some reassurance that this isn't a big deal. My 9 - year-old daughter is currently training for her second level 2 season which begins in January. She began complaining of ankle pain on her round offs and jumps last...

    Ankle injury

    At dance last night (in jazz) we were doing pirouettes, I went for a double (I normally do triples) and when I went up in relevè I rolled my ankle. For the rest of dance (about and hour and a half) I elevated my foot and when I got home I iced it. The part that hurts the most is the outside part...

    WAG Shoulder and ankle pain after growth spurt?

    My ten year old daughter has had an insane year in terms of growth. She's gained about 15-20 pounds and grown around 4-5 inches. She's also matured physically in other ways and it has all happened so quickly her doctor told me she was just entering puberty and then within a month or two--tons...
