hurt

I was watching the podium training of Akash Modi on floor and it looks like he's afraid to land on his ankle. Does anyone know what happened?

Sorry, but I can't resist sharing.... :p http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/article171347422.html

So yesterday I did the stupidest thing ever. I did a great backhandpsring on the low beam, then jumped off - and rolled my ankle. Okay, getting past that..... Anyway, I've wrapped my ankle up, but it still hurts a lot to walk normally or put pressure. Do you think it's just a roll? Or...

So I have a meet coming up in about a week. Recently I developed costochondritis, which is basically inflamed chest. I've been out of gymnastics for 2 weeks, and my skills on beam (and like 1 on bars) are iffy. What do you suggest I do at home to help? I have 3 practices left before the meet, so...

During the summer DD had a heel that bothered her when she tumbled. Recently she had been complaining the bottoms of her feet hurt when she tumbles on the floor, not her heel, her feet. She is relatively new at this gym and says the floor is new and hard, but she's been here for a year and...

My daughter fell on her button the rod floor two weeks ago. Since then, she has complained of pain in her tail bone. She says it hurts mildly on most skills but hurts a lot on back extensions and any punching tumbling skills. She's afraid to tumble hard bc she's afraid she will get a searing...

Here is an inspirational short video for when your child is hurt:

My DD was just invited to an ice skating party and I'm terrified (for no good reason) that she'll hurt herself. I'm letting her go of course, because I know I can't and shouldn't put my DD in a bubble. But I really wish they were just watching a movie. I know I need to let my 8 year old live...

One of my girls is in a cast. Her mom just sent me a photo. She fell off the swings. I just got another girl back who sprained her ankle and was on crutches for three weeks. C'mon girls! Cut me some slack here and wrap yourselves in bubble wrap if you are going to do anything other than watch...

DD was so super excited to finally get grips! What a rite of passage for a little gymnast. I thought she was going to sleep in them last night. Took a special trip to the store for wristbands and everything. She hangs on the bar one time and gets instantly frustrated. "OUCH, they hurt. They get...

So I do gymnastics at my school as well, and we have these terrible mats, thin, hard and NOT bouncy, I don't know if its from cheap non-bounce mats or if I bent my finger back without realizing. My index finger on my left hand hurts from half my finger down to slightly below my knuckle and my...

I wasn't sure where was the best place to place to put this question. Certainly, coaches and gymnasts feel free to respond, not just parents. DD is about half way through week 2 of finger and foot recovery. Fracture in one of the foot bones, so foot in a boot for 6 weeks. Dr. didn't see...

Last year DS broke his pinkie 1.5 weeks before states. They put him in a cast from the tips of his fingers almost to his elbow. This year he hurt his ankle 2 days before state. At first we thought it was tweaked. He said he could compete on it; but just left out bonuses that he thought would...

Hi! So I think the title says it all- I think (or should I say pretty sure) that I hurt my shoulder. What basically happened was that last Friday - 3 days ago - I was at practice and we were on bars. I was doing my straddle glide kip on low, and as soon as my toes touched the bar I felt slight...

Hello! I don't post very often, but I read & learn a lot! Oh, and I'm really not a CGM, I picked the name before I knew what it meant ;) if there's a way to change it I'd love to! First meet of the season a week and a half ago my dd fell on her back tuck off the beam. She whacked the side of...

My DD is 5 and working on pullovers and backhip circles. She's working on her forward hipcircle too (i think that's what it is called) where she can go fully around the bar and support herself again. Ironically she has this but not the pullover & backhip circle which she says hurt her...

Just saw the following tweet... "Alicia Sacramone was injured today at practice and is being evaluated. Aly Raisman took a short dismount off beam but is fine." What a bummer for her and team USA. Hoping she is okay!

I don't want to be a rumor monger but I've seen some pretty reliable info that another gymnast was hurt at camp and everyone is saying it was Macko :-/ From Larry Nassar's facebook; "Day 3 and the first day of competition for the selection for the teams. We had a very unfurtunate injury...

She is fine now, had to miss a practice, ice herself and take it easy. She was *so* mad and really, so I was I. She didn't do anything wrong and that's what is upsetting her so much. She was tumbling on the floor and doing a round off back tuck and just as she is in her tuck one of the...

DD (8) complained after training last Saturday that she had hurt her foot. She couldn't think of any specific thing that she did during training that triggered it or what time it started, it was just hurting afterwards. The sore spot is on the inside ankle, just below the ankle bone, around to...
