    Parents Wrist Brace for Beam

    My daughter, training level 7, broke her wrist last spring (in two places). The area near crease of her wrist can still get sore especially as she is upping her reps. She still does some strengthening and exercises but we are looking for a brace to use when on beam for support. She wears tiger...

    Parents ACL brace after surgery

    My daughter has been cleared to start the long journey back to gymnastics after surgery to repair ACL/Meniscus. Her surgeon says she must wear a brace when she gets back to the gym. I've been researching athletic braces and I'm looking for feedback between a Donjoy or an Osssur brace and...

    Parents Quarantine Over ... Back at Practice ... Wearing Ankle Brace like her doctor told her ... Ran into a problem

    So, we have been back in actual practice for 3 weeks (3 days x 1.5 hours). YG has been wearing her ankle brace religiously. On Tuesday, she told me her ankle is bothering her. Her brace isn't working. Can I buy her new plastic inserts for it? ?????? Why new inserts? Well, during quarantine...

    Parents Ankle brace help?

    My daughter has issues with her ankle(s). They are weak, so whenever she does intense tumbling they start bothering her.

    Scoliosis Brace

    I’m the Mom of a L7 gymnast, who has just turned 13. We knew that she had some scoliosis last year and in a recent check up, she has been asked to wear a back brace for a year to stop the curvature increasing. She will obviously take it off for gymnastics practices and competitions. This is...

    WAG Arch support x brace?

    To any of you with the x brace, does it provide decent arch support? Or is there another brace with arch support? I have quite flat feet and over pronation, which used to cause quite a bit of foot and calf pain when I was younger. Luckily, Physio and wearing good shoes with insoles helped, but...

    Can a gymmie wear a black ankle brace for meets or does it have to be nude? Thanks!

    WAG colored ankle brace in competition?

    After some searching I can't find a definitive answer--do braces/supports that do not match the athlete's skin color incur a deduction in competition? On her PT's recommendation, my daughter has been wearing an ankle brace at practice (PT prefers the brace to tape because it is less...

    Parents patellar stabilization brace?

    Hi Everyone. My daughter recently dislocated her kneecap, and it is being treated without surgery. Her orthopedic doctor wants her to wear a patellar stabilization brace for the first 3 months of resuming doing gymnastics skills. He recommended a Palumbo brace. (...

    Parents MCL injury and yet another knee brace

    Well turns out my DS doesn't stay in one piece for long! He's had about 3 weeks of full training after a wrist fracture this spring- and now he has a partial tear of his MCL in his right knee. :( He has seen the doctor, and starts physio and will be getting a brace tomorrow. This is by no...

    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 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...

    Parents Arm sleeve/brace

    My dd has been recovering from an elbow sprain for two months and it still hurts a little during bars. She has been unable to compete yet this season. Has anyone tried the Freedom pediatric arm sleeve? The arm doesnt hurt a lot but her coach is still worried.

    WAG Recommendation for an ankle brace that keeps the ankle immobilized

    Does anyone know of an ankle brace that keeps the ankle relatively immobilized? From a bit of research I've found its difficult to do this with ankle braces, so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. I know that taping works best, but I've gone through nearly 80 rolls of...

    WAG Wrist Support Brace Brands

    Is there a brand of wrist support names "Wristies"? I've heard the term used in a general way to cover all wrist support braces. My daughter has used Tiger Paw brand in the past. She was given a pair of what she says is "Wristies" brand at her gym awhile ago and she likes these better than Tiger...

    WAG Recommendation for Elbow Brace/Sleeve

    Does anyone have a specific recommendation for an elbow brace that allows some support without restricting movement too much? We are 8 weeks out from a broken humerus injury and very slowly starting back at the gym for modified full workouts. The physical therapist said some elbow support for...

    Brace for Ankle Sprain

    My dd's doctor has her in a T1 Active Ankle Trainer Ankle Brace T1 Active Ankle Trainer Ankle Brace (Free Shipping). This allows her to move her foot up and down while not allowing her to twist her ankle. She has been told to wear an athletic shoe to keep the piece on the bottom from slipping...
