    What colour brace is less noticable?

    Because of an annoying ankle injury that just keeps on coming back, I'll be ordering an ASO ankle brace. Which colour is less noticable in competitions- white or back? I'm pretty fair so I thought white, but it would look so dirty and sweaty and gross! Opinions please?

    Deduction for knee brace

    I competed in a meet last weekend and the weekend before that. At the first meet my scores were (vault bars beam floor) 8.7 8.6 9.3 9.1 and for the second meet I got an 8.2 8.4 8.7 8.9. I thought I did better at that second one and I was wondering why I got so much lower scores this time. I...

    Deduction for Brace?

    In competition, can you get a deduction for wearing a brace? I was told that I will get a deduction for wearing my white knee brace in competitions.

    Update on Ankle brace/tape question from a week ago

    Well, it turns out that what ds thought was pain caused by his ankles was actually caused by falling arches. The orthopedist recommended he wear arch supports in his shoes and to keep his shoes on during gymnastics for the next 3 weeks. He's not supposed to do tumbling or vault until his feet...

    Ankle brace or tape?

    My ds10 has complained of the inside of his ankle hurting for about a week now. His coach says he just needs to tape it and continue training since there is no swelling or bruising, and he never really did anything like twist it or roll it, it just started hurting. So all last week he trained...

    ankle brace suggestions?

    Hi everyone! Some of you know I hurt my right ankle really badly at the end of last august and it's finally getting to the point where I feel comfortable doing more jumping on it. The brace I use right now really doesn't do anything because it's just one I had from a prior ankle sprain and it...

    Best ankle brace?

    I sprained my ankle pretty bad and will need a good brace when I return to gym. I was hoping to find a store that offered several options so I could look at them/try them on but I can't find any so it looks like I might have to try my luck online. I know a lot of gymnasts wear them so what...

    brace or tape?

    My dd sprained her ankle a few weeks ago. She's just been released from the doctor to train - yay!. I want to get a brace/support for her to give that ankle some extra support. I bought her the ASO brace, but she said it was slippery on the beam. Do you any of you have experience with this brace...

    Tiger paws vs. any other brace? pros & cons

    So I am back after a summer hiatus from the gym, ready to hit the floor and hopefully do better than I was in the spring. Unfortunately, while biking to and from work this summer, I had a nasty wipeout, and managed to pull a muscle in my wrist. It's much better, I've been wearing a carpal tunnel...

    My 11 yr old daughter (Level 5) needs a soft, open heeled ankle brace. Easy enough right? WRONG. She wears a size 1 shoe. I cannot find a brace small enough to fit her tiny little foot. I know someone out there has had to have dealt with this problem. Can anyone please help me find her a...
