    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...

    WAG Ankle strength

    I have quite weak ankles and my coach at gymnastics is against any kind of ankle supports! However I often hurt my ankles doing tumbles etc... They always roll to the side! And I think I need to build up some strength in my ankles, what strength exercises can I do to make them stronger?

    Coaches Knee, Ankle, Heal (etc) Issues & Spring Floor Type / Thickness

    Trying to get some data on injuries and spring floor type (thickness). How many gymnasts do you have (as a percentage) with lower body issues? How thick is the foam on your spring floor? How thick is the deck (wood / fiberglass boards) on your floor? What brand / type of floor do you have...

    WAG Weaning off ankle braces

    This summer I want to try to stop being so dependent on my ankle braces. Any advice would be great, but I can't just stop wearing them. I used them for everything. My ankles roll very easily. I've been to physical therapy but we always end up going too fast and it never happens. Sense were in...

    WAG ASO EVO vs. ASO regular ankle brace

    I have sprained my ankle many times.... and according to my doctor 'almost fractured' my ankle about a month ago. He provided me with a Donjoy lace up brace....its what the orthopedic has. I really don't like the feel, and I borrowed my teammates ASO EVO ankle brace and loved it! I looked...

    WAG ASO and Donjoy Ankle Brace

    Does anyone know if the ASO or Donjoy ankle lace up braces have a warranty? One of the velco straps that go in a figure 8, started to rip, I'm wondering if they will send a replacement.

    WAG Ankle pain in a L5er

    DD is small and her ankles are very flexible. She can touch her toes to the floor when she points her feet. She has been complaining of on again, off again ankle tenderness on the outside of her ankle, under the pointy bone. I guess it hurts more when she does a lot of floor and...

    WAG Ankle brace vs. Tape

    This seems to be such a controversial topic-pros and cons to both. Which do you or your dd prefer? Personally, I like tape but its expensive and takes quite a bit of time to put on. It makes me feel more secure though. Braces are great because they are quick to put on and can be adjusted, but...

    WAG Ankle brace?

    I broke my ankle about 4 months ago and it has been a rough recovery to get back into routine shape and compete this season. I tape my ankle every day because it's still not in the best shape. I'm looking for an ankle brace that is very secure because my ligaments still bother me. Also I want...

    WAG badly sprained ankle practice schedule

    Can anyone give me some good exercises and skills to do with a grade 2, nearly grade 3 (less than an 1/8 of an inch more to make it a full tear) sprained ankle? It's the middle of meet season so I don't want to stop practicing. I was provided a lace up ankle brace by my orthopedic to wear for 6...

    WAG Ankle weights on bars...

    Are ankle weights ok on bars for a teen girl? For resistance on kips, casts, etc. Some people say it has to be above the knee weights...but what for bars? You can't use wrist weights. Is that ok? Will it do further damage to my already bad shin splints?

    Parents Rant about ankle weights and vault

My older dd currently level 7 and my younger dd just got picked to join the pre optional group ( they train with the optionals but compete the level they are at, so she competes level 4, but they do a lot...

    Off Topic What to use instead of ankle braces?

    For beam, not floor. I just feel like I'm going to slip off. I'm very dependent on my brace I won't practice without something on my ankles, but is there anything else I could use, I did tape but I remember that slipping too, maybe tape with beam shoes? I also put chalk on my feet but it doesn't...

    WAG Wrist and/or Ankle weights?

    I'm not a coach but am interested in how many coaches have their girls practice with wrist or ankle weights and why/why not. I'm not talking about anything very heavy, maybe 1 lb weights on each wrist or ankle. Especially on bars and floor. I love DD's coach and she uses these sometimes and it...

    WAG Sprained ankle - conditioning routine

    One of my gymnasts is coming in today after spraining her ankle. She can't stay away from the gym. Does anyone have a conditioning routine I can hand her to do while she is off her ankle?

    Coaches Ankle stretching-circles or no?

    I have always included ankle circles in my stretching routine as a gymnast, and now as a coach. I sit on the floor with my right leg bent and resting over my left leg, hold onto my right foot with my left hand, and move it around in circles with my hand, first one direction and then the other...
