    Sprained my other ankle

    In practice today I was doing my beam routine, and I missed my cartwheel. It normally wouldn't have been a problem but my foot landed half off the 8-incher and I rolled it. :mad: I sprained my other ankle in September (for the same reason; foot landed half off a 4-inch mat coming down from the...

    Parents Ugh, need ankle fairies!

    Older DD had a great week at practice. She actually began to fix her ROBHSBHS issues on Tuesday...came home so excited that she had done them with straight legs finally (it's been a LONG process). She has a big travel meet next weekend, the first of the season. It's a fun meet where all the...

    So my daughters' good friend broke both ankles at the gym Tuesday night. I was on pick up duty and she actually fell just as I came in. I missed the fall but saw the rolling on the ground. She actually told my daughter right after that she was fine and was moving feet around. Well coaches...

    Good news/bad news - Em is tumbling again/Caileigh broke her ankle!

    Well it is good news/bad news in our house these days. Em did her first RO BHS's on the tumble track tonight, 8 months after rupturing her ACL and generally trashing her knee. It's been a really long and painful journey to get from there to here, but Em has proven herself to be far tougher...

    Wrist/Ankle pain?

    Hey all, I'm 5'4" and have really small wrists and ankles, so they are always weakening my skills and they always hurt at the end of practice. What's the best way to deal with this? (p.s. I've thought about tiger paws, but I haven't tried them. They seem like they would be hard to tumble in)

    Bad ankle dilemma!!

    We just found out about 2 weeks ago that I have a bruised ankle or theirs like water in it or something? We talked to the foot doctor and he kinda wanted me to quite and said he doesn't think it can get better. But then my coach who also talked to the doctor said it can get better?!:confused...

    Ankle injury?

    At the end of December, I got a grade 3 ankle sprain on both sides of my left ankle. I had a boot for a month and then didn't do anything pounding for about a month. I got discharged from PT and everything was going fine. I got my ankle taped at every practice and I occasionally had a little...

    Ankle weights?

    Our team coaches just bought the girls ankle weights to do their warm ups and some conditioning in. They run in them, do kicks, handstands, even backhandsprings. To me, they seem like a horrible idea. Some girls already have ankle issues and these girls are still growing. Putting more strain and...
