    Ankle and wrist strength

    Both of my ankles are bad and I wear braces on both of them for practice. The braces can get annoying and I would like to practice without them but I don't want to injure myself. I also wear tiger paws and I would like to practice without them too. Any tips on strengthening my wrists and ankles??

    Women Ankle strengthening?

    So in March I fractured my left ankle by rolling it, then around 2.5 weeks ago I minor-ly sprained my right ankle in phys. ed by rolling it. It finally felt better today and I was on tumble track during practice and I rolled my right ankle again. My coach told me to do a lot of toe raises and...

    Parents Sprained ankle. Ugh!

    DD sprained her ankle doing a back tuck on beam. Since she fractured that same foot last year I had it xrayed. No fracture but its swollen and sore. Ice, ice and more ice. I want one month of practice without illness or injury. :mad:

    Parents sprained ankle?

    Thursday night DD rolled her ankle when she jumped off of the beam. She was still walking on it, it only swelled a little. DS had recently fractured his ankle, so we have a brace (what they had him wear after he got the OK to stop wearing the boot). I had her wear the brace to school on...

    Women Fractured ankle

    I fractured my ankle while competing floor 3 weeks ago :( I've been out since then and my dr said it could take 4-6 weeks to heal, then physical therapy :( He said it's a hairline fracture and should take closer to 4 weeks to heal. Hopefully he's right and I'll be able to at least compete as an...

    Parents Sprained ankle UPDATE

    I got a call from the Dr today. She had the pediatric radiologist take a look at DDs Xrays. Apparently, DD chipped her ankle and she needs to be in a walking cast for the next 2 weeks! *sigh* This seriously hinders her birthday party this weekend......at Bounce U. :(

    Women Ankle sprain healing question

    Last Thursday, my little gymmie sprained her ankle at gym. The details are a little fuzzy between DD and coach, but I think it was hurt from smacking the springboard, not actually twisting her ankle. Anyway, we got an Xray and the Dr. confirmed a sprain, not a fracture. In fact, she said it...

    Men Update on DS's fractured ankle

    I posted almost 3 weeks ago about DS hurting his ankle the day before state competition and then after the competition we found out that it was fractured. We went back to the doctor yesterday. The pain is totally gone, though there is still some swelling. He is out of the boot and into a...

    Women Another Question about Ankle Weights

    I’ve seen a lot of discussion here about the dangers of ankle weights and the stress they can put on the knees/hip flexors. I just had a question about a particular exercise: I’ve seen a few different gyms use a drill where the gymnast sits in a pike or stag and taps her foot against the...

    Women Ankle Weights During Vault

    My 9 yr DD has been complaining about foot pain. Her coaches have been making her vault with her weights on. Could this be a cause of the foot pain. It seems common sense that vaulting with weights on would be counter productive.

    Women Are ankle weights ever okay

    with all the talk of ankle weights and the hazards and possibility of injury, it makes me wonder are they ever okay to use or are the risks just two high? I've also heard that it's to do with growth plates so does that mean once you are finished growing ankle weights are safe to use? Maybe Dunno...

    Women Ankle Weights for all workouts

    My 11y/o dd's coach has recently started making the girls wear 5lb ankle weights during all of their workouts (3 practices per week, 3hrs each) - her back is starting to bother her & I'm wondering if it's because of the weights. I've heard it's not good to wear them that much but wanted...

    Women Question about ankle weights

    In another thread someone asked about uptraining and also asked about ankle weights, and Bog and a couple of others said no weights at this age. I wanted to start another thread just on the topic of weights. DD has been at 2 different gyms and even from age 6 at the other gym the girls wore...

    Ankle pain from pronation

    My daughters feet pronate, is there a way to deal with the associated ankle pain by taping or using an ankle wrap while in practice? If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

    Comparing ankle support braces, please help?

    So I was contemplating between Swede-O's ankle lok and Aircast's airsport. Which is better for gymnastics/trampoline? protection-wise, comfort and range of motion? Thanks.
