    Parents knee injury?

    Hi everyone. I'm not asking for medical advice here, just wanted to see if anyone has first hand experience to share. My daughter hyperextended her knee about a week and half ago. She didn't hear a pop or feel anything that dramatic. But she was doing a FLO FLO on the floor and I guess just...

    WAG Hyperextended Both Knee

    At practice yesterday I was doing a front handspring front tuck and hyperextended both knees, and proceeded to jump while they were hyperextended. I heard a pop and I felt sharp pain, and tried to continue my routine but the pain was so bad that I couldn't continue. I usually have super high...

    WAG Need help to fix a hypo extended knee to avoid deductions! Thank you...

    Hey guys, I get deducted for that my knees aren’t straight. But my problem is that when I fully straighten it, it seems bent. I think this is called a hypo extention? Anyways, does somebody have a stretching exercice, or any other method to help me? Thank you very much for a response! :);)

    Parents Knee Injury with no answers :-(

    DD8 has had knee pain for a while. It finally got bad enough to go see a doctor. After XRAYS and an MRI, all they determined was discoid meniscus, which shouldn't cause any pain on it's own. They found no tears or inflammation... nothing. She's been on rest since March. Has anyone ever had...

    WAG Problems with bent knees

    DD is not able to completely straighten her legs. They always have a slight but noticeable bend at the knee. Curious to know if anyone else’s child has this problem and if physical therapy has helped. Could it be due to tight muscles around the knee or is it maybe just the way she is made?

    Off Topic Athletes/Coaches taking a knee during the anthem at meets

    Lately, the question of when and where and how it is appropriate to protest social issues has come up in many sports, most notably (but not only) the NFL. I expect it is just a matter of time before this question must be addressed in the gymnastics world, so while this is a politically charged...

    Parents Hyperextended knee?

    My gymmies knee ‘went straight’, as she put it,while walking (yep walking) at gymnastics tonight. A coach told her she hyperextended it, wrapped it up and took her off floor and vault. She is icing/elevating it right now and says on a scale of 1–10 it’s a 5 for pain. Anyone else have experience...
