    WAG New injury - the end of gymnastics?

    DD injured herself last night during vault (hurdling into RO for yurchenko). X-rays are clear and MRI is on Thursday. She thinks she heard the snap as she jumped up into her hurdle but it may have been right as she came back down. Based on the initial location of swelling and current swelling...

    Parents Question about a possible minor injury

    Hi, My 7 year old had been in rec but has 2 weeks break between the end of rec (at one gym) to her new level 2 team at a new gym. She has been working at home on stretching and strength exercises (I cheer her on and give some direction when she asks). A few days ago she started complaining...

    Laurie Injured :(

    Just saw this on Facebook. This is devastating news for her. Latest from Rio: The word is that US team member Laurie Hernandez has badly pulled hamstring. After yesterday’s podium training it was apparent that Hernandez was the one chosen not to do the all-around in the qualification round...

    Poor Russia more injuries... anyone think Mustafina is completely overrated?

    Poor Russia coach Rodienienko said paeseka is injured & may be unable to complete they have no other vaulter to replace her.... Melnikova has a hamstring injury & is going to have to do watered down routines. Love Daria Spiridonova & can't wait to see her on bars think she is a real classic...

    Parents Injuries

    My daughter is 7yo and trainning level 4 (to compete fall 2017). She has struggled doing ROBHS independently and required a spot every time she tumbled. In June her group went to the tumble track and she was confident enough to complete the skill independently 10+ times. On her last turn before...

    Parents The Gymnast Career Injuries Catalogue - Add Yours

    Wrist Injury:(

    Yesterday I sprained my wrist doing a roundoff bhs bhs. I'm crushed. I think something has been up with it for a while, honestly. Nothing was terribly wrong with my bhs, I think it was just slow enough that my wrist gave out. I am in a splint, and my doctor/coaches/mom have a lot of hope and...

    Parents Question on injuries and is this normal

    I know injuries are just part of the sport but should I be concerned when a little over 1/3 of the optional team is in some sort of ankle or wrist brace, knee pain, and a few with broken bones/recent surgery. We are a very competitive gym with some tough conditioning but didn't know how to...

    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...

    Parents Post Injury Advice

    My daughter hurt her wrist by doing a front support mount on the beam just over 4 weeks ago, she heard a click/crack and felt no pain, she carried on and did floor as she though her joints just clicked (she has joint issues and clicky joints). My daughter felt some pain later that night after...

    It has been a long season. Dd, new level 8 this year, broke 2 fingers & dislocated one back at the beginning of November, right before meet season was to start. This was the first year in a while where she was looking solid, feeling confident, and ready to take on the season at her new level...

    Parents Excessive injuries in gym - comes with the territory or issues with training?

    Lately there seems to be a significant amount of injuries in our gym due to overuse/overtraining. This is mostly levels 8 and up. Do you think it is just par for the course or could there be some incorrect training in either/or technique and conditioning? We are a very large, competitive...

    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...

    WAG Injuries :(

    Ok so I have an injury in my shin/calf area on my right leg and it hurts whenever I walk on it. It doesn't hurt too bad that it's unbearable, but it's been hurting for a week and a half now. It kind of feels like a bruise, except I know for sure its not a bruise. I haven't told my mom or coach...

    Coaches More Injuries!

    I could use some advice on how much time you spend with your Optional or High school gymnastics team on Pre-hab, conditioning, etc. I have coached for some 15 years now in clubs (girls aged 6-16 JO levels 1-9) with only ankle sprain and 1 physical therapy referral. I recently was asked to...
