My DD broke her elbow (well, Radial head) at the end of January and is now cleared to start tumbling again. She has been doing PT and lots of leg work for the past weeks. I know she is "ready" to come back, but has said that she is scared, scared about everything. We think she hurt her elbow...
My daughter recently started experiencing some back pain, we had an MRI done and they see a slipped disk under the t12 vertebrae. The doctor told me it’s ok to have my daughter continue in the gym as normal but I am super worried about further injuries. Has anyone else been through this that can...
DD does acro and her partner slipped and caught DD's pinky toe on a skill. It's not broken, but it clearly is hurting her - my guess is like hyperextension. There's a small amount of bruising in the inside of her toe but nothing really significant. We've been taping it, but she couldn't...
For both you and the gymnast. ODS bailed out of a double back on Monday and landed on his neck. He said he felt like he wasn’t going to make it and thought he was going to be able to land on his feet and his coach said it looked like he was trying to land on his back but had too much rotation...
Hi, does anyone have experience with prolong wrist pain after a stress reaction in the wrist. My daughter hurt her wrist 8 weeks ago and it was confirmed a stress reaction via MRI. She still is not back in Gym because she is still having wrist pain while tumbling and doing anything that...
Around two weeks ago I had a fall off bars, and hurt my ankle/foot. After many xrays and mris, I finally have the results. I am waiting to see a specialist or physio, however I would just like to know if anyone has had any experience with the following so I can wrap my head around it (currently...
Hey,
So I have been coaching for six years now and none of my gymnasts ever got really injured. Except last Sunday. She over rotated a front somersault hit her head on her knee resulting in an orbital bone fracture and a concussion. I know it was an accident and I couldn’t have done anything...

Yesterday was my last practice before my state meet. In the morning on beam, I landed odd and it hurt my foot a little. I thought nothing of it, and thought it just hurt in the moment. But, when we went to vault, I tried to run but 3 steps in it hurt so much I collapsed. My coach thinks I'm...
I got injured in May of 2018, Talus OCD (lesion on my ankle), took six weeks in crutches and boot non-weight bearing. Then did 25% and 50%. It has been 4 months and 4 days. I am still in boot and crutches, with 50% weight. Does anyone know why its taking so long? Doc sending me for another MRI...
I am 24 years old and have been out of the gym for about 8 to 9 years. Back when I was a gymnast I was crazy flexible. I have had plenty of injuries including the last of my injuries which were the deciding factor on quitting which was acl and mcl rips in my knees (only on knee at a time was...
My son competes in Championships in a couple weeks and he hurt himself doing high-bar. I don't think it was a true injury on high-bar but the symptoms became obvious while on high-bar. He can't grip with his right hand. When he touches his thumb to his index finger, pain shoots up his arm into...
My daughter sprained or strained her big toe and her foot is crazy swollen and sore. This is not her first injury... Anyway, what does your gymnast do when they are injured? I realize it depends on the injury, but thought I would ask.
In my opinion, she should be visualizing and conditioning...
You may have seen some of my posts about my DD's wrist injury. It started in March with some pretty bad pain in her wrist mostly on BHS. She worked through it to get to state and I let her as she had already sat out 6+ months with OCD in her elbow last year (same arm!). Took her to the ortho...
Just want to vent and see if others have experienced the same thing with their gymnie. I feel as if my DD (almost 11 years old, level 6-7) has one injury after another. In the last few years : sever's (sometimes one foot, sometimes the other or both feet at the same time) on and off for 3 years...
First time posting. Not sure what type of response I'm looking for, just needed to air instead of keeping it inside. A little background - my dd has competed for 3 years and has never complained of any injuries. Recently she sprained her ankle (hurts to run, jump, any impact). Two coaches...
Help!
Sorry I have to be vague, but I will try my best to explain the situation.
We just found out some terrible news about our gym, and have decided that we need to immediately leave. We have a huge problem, though! Our daughter has a serious injury at this time and cannot do a try out. She...
Hi everyone, my gymnast friend recently broke both her arms and was asking us all for ideas of what to do conditioning-wise while she recovers. She wants to mainly keep her core strong. Her coach has told her to do heel taps and leg lifts on the ground. If anyone has any other ideas that would...
Went to sports specialist...He x-rayed and did an MRI. I have a Talus OCD (Osteochondrial Defect). Can't put any weight on it for 6 weeks, they wanted to cast it. I refused and got a boot instead. Any ideas for conditioning to do while I wait for it to heal?
