    Injury Ankle injury

    About 4weeks ago I hurt my ankle at a competition. I’m pretty sure I hurt it in my floor routine as I didn’t feel any pain until after I wore off some of the adrenaline once I was done floor. I could barely run for vault after and it hurt to walk. It was a two day competition so I iced it right...

    I’m a Xcel Silver gymnast who is currently upgrading my vault to the Gold vault (fhs over table with springboard vs. fhs over mat stack with airboard) because it is post season. Towards the end of the season I started running on my toes instead of flat feet and getting faster. This helped my...

    Parents Ankle braces?

    Are there any particular ankle braces that you recommend? I’m dealing with more ankle pain than usual right now, and am looking for some support to help with the pain and prevent injury. Previously I’ve used pre-wrap and tape, but I don’t want to waste anymore.

    Anon Looking for “normal” ankle sprain stories

    Looking for some help. My daughter sprained her ankle the other day. It seems to be a moderate sprain - not mild and not the worst per her ortho and PT. A fairly typical sprain but with all of the warnings about the importance of NOT rushing things, and making sure to fully recover, etc. The...

    Parents Can you succeed with weak ankles?

    Stupid topic title, I know, but hear me out. My daughter has hypermobile ankles, knees, elbows with loose ligaments (tendons? All the ortho visits have run together into a blur at this point). We are CONSTANTLY treating something. I am arranging my work schedule based on ortho visits...

    Women Foot/Ankle injuries

    Has anyone had any injuries to their ankle or foot? If so, what was the diagnosis? How much time did you take off, if any? What was the healing process? Is it still causing you pain/discomfort? 3 weeks ago I did a half on-half off vault and felt a sharp pain in my heel as I was running, fast...

    Men Ankle Update

    Ankle update: Ankle is 100% stable and ready to go. He is free to do things, building up slowly, of course. However, in true D fashion, the opposite hip and lower back are tight due to the ankle, so he is going for a few more weeks to get those loose. It is always something!
