    WAG Pain after injury healed

    Has anyone's gymnast had lingering significant pain after a fracture or other injury has healed. We've had 2 experts confirm that she is healthy and cleared for gymnastics yet she is still in pain, and can do very little. Any experience with this. She is beyond discouraged, and way too young to...

    Parents injuries...

    SO unfortunately the week after discovering that she had made level 7, my poor sweet kiddo got hurt - growth plate fracture of the shoulder. This is her first "real" injury where she really can't do much of anything except leg conditioning and splits for 4 weeks. I was wondering from those of...

    Gymnastics exercises with wrist injuries?

    Hello all, I am a 25m who just started gymnastics for the very first time with my S.O. I have never done anything remotely close to gymnastics before. We started at a gym a few weeks ago. I got really excited and injured my wrists by trying too many handstands...every day. My wrists are now...

    Parents 2 1/2 years after her injury, my DD overcame her fear

    Back in Jan ’17, my DD broke her elbow attempting a CW on beam. When we were in the ER after her accident, she vowed that she was never going to step on a beam again. While it didn’t take her long to change her mind about that, she did come back much more fearful than she had been before...

    WAG Too many injuries?

    I had a shoulder injury a few years ago but it was resolved. A while later I had ongoing knee problems that led to surgery and I came back to gym in Feburary. I am still getting my skills back but my old shoulder injury has been flaring up to the point where I have missed a week of practice. I...

    Parents injury during summer

    What would your gym do, or have they done, when a gymnast is uptraining and halfway through the summer gets injured and will only be able to condition for about 4-6 weeks? Our gym makes level decisions in August, meets start in late Nov., no level changes until the following Spring after States...

    Parents Is there a certain body type less prone to injuries?

    I didn't want to derail the Pain vs. Injury thread, but I've frequently seen people post things along the line of "certain body types can't hold up to the hours and intensity of the sport", so (and this is probably a silly question) is there a body type that does hold up well to the intensity...

    Parents Pain vs Injury

    I want to start by saying I am not seeking medical advice :) more looking for general discussion...After reading this site for some time now I am acutely aware of the potential for injury both just freak accident and over use kinds. When do you "know" when to see a Dr? DD complained that her...

    Parents Knee Injury with no answers :-(

    DD8 has had knee pain for a while. It finally got bad enough to go see a doctor. After XRAYS and an MRI, all they determined was discoid meniscus, which shouldn't cause any pain on it's own. They found no tears or inflammation... nothing. She's been on rest since March. Has anyone ever had...

    Coming back from injury

    Does anyone have any tips for coming back from an injury? More specifically an ACL tear (reconstructed with surgery) and a grade II sprain of the MCL in the knee? I just got back after about 9 months off and have been back for about a month. I have really been struggling with confidence...

    DD is level 7 and decided she wants to switch gyms. Her season just ended and we had planned to start contacting gyms right away. The problem is she just injured her foot and is currently in a boot. Nothing too serious but it will be several weeks before she will be back tumbling. We don't want...

    WAG Gymnastics Injuries?

    I feel like I've had a lot of injuries during my gymnastics career. I've only been doing gymnastics for two years but I somehow made it up to Level 6 and train 5 days a week.

    WAG Random injury

    My DD came home from practice on Saturday complaining of significant tailbone pain. She said it started suddenly when she jumped very hard on the springboard for vault (tsuk entry). She did not tell anyone, and continued on with her full practice although she said just about everything hurt...

    Coaches Coaching Front Tumbling after Sam Cerio Injury

    So I coach at a rec gym and am struggling with how to approach coaching front tumbling after Sam Cerio’s injury. I decided to only coach back tumbling this week, so I can figure out the best way to prepare for fears, questions, etc. ( more of the mental side). I know that most of my kiddos saw...
