Has anyone's gymnast complain of back pain when starting giants?
10yr old DD just started working baby giants on strap bar this week and has complained about lower back pain. Mainly muscle pain/strain.
Chalk it up to new skill (like the backwalkover muscle back pain) or maybe form? She is a...
This isn't related to gymnastics at all but, it might affect my gymnastics. I have a meet on Saturday. But yesterday I was walking down the stairs at school and I thought there was another step but there wasnt. I must've hyper extended my knee or something. My dad said by the area of the pain...
OK talk to me! 13yo DD has been out of all knee exercise for 2 weeks 2 days and is still in significant pain. X-rays clear, Dr. thinks patellofemoral pain syndrome. I was thinking tendonitis and prepared for 3 weeks of acute pain and then it would back off if we were very careful and could start...
I'm not sure if this has to do with gymnastics or what.. I'm 14 , L7/8 gymnast and have been experiencing lower back pain. My doctors have just been putting in off as "growing pains" and i'm starting to wonder if it's more than that. The doctor said it was very normal for a 14 year old girl to...
My DD is having heal pain. She has dealt with severs and says this feels different. She says it feels like there is "something" in her heel, on the bottom of it. It makes anything on her feet (running, tumbling, dance, etc) hurt all of her heel. When I rub her heel, deep in the tissue I can feel...
I know there have been several threads about elbow dislocation and associated surgery to reattach the medial epicondyle. I've responded to one with my kiddo's story & it's pretty typical (over-rotation of back tuck on tramp - put arm out when bailing - dislocation of elbow w/ surrgery to...
I've been doing gymnastics for most of my life, and am dealing with a back injury that I've finally understood probably means the end of my gymnastics career (it's been going on for 5+ years but has gotten much worse recently) . I joined competitive relatively late at the ripe old age of 16, and...
DD has been complaining about rlly bad knee pain, too the point where she can't even walk after practice. Is there any kid friendly creams out you guys could suggest? Thanks
My daughter has been experiencing heel pain from back tuck on beam (we think). We have been icing it every evening. She doesn't hurt walking or outside of gym, but every night when she comes home from gym she complains about it. Any suggestion as to what else we should do? Thanks all.
My daughter is having wrist pain with extension of wrist with weight bearing. Went to doctors growth plate fine but wrists very lax, a lot of movement. So he suggested tiger paws, whose head coach not believer in. Anyone have experience with this?
My 8 year old daughter has been complaining on and off for about a month about knee pain. We think she injured it working on her front tuck. Three weeks ago I took her to the doctor and they said the knee was inflamed. Told us to ice it, give ibuprofen, and rest it. We did that but continued...
I'm trying to consult Dr. Google about pain my daughter has been experiencing the last few weeks and just can't seem to narrow it down to the correct muslces. She's discussed it with the coaches and they are modifying activity with this injury in mind, but I still like to do my own...
My DD has had a bunch of wrist issues over the last few months. They are likely acute injuries and not overuse issues. She missed a lot of last season with a TFCC injury, recovered fully and then hurt both wrists again with a bad landing. She has rested for a month, X-ray is clear, but she...
Hi there,
Dd is on a compulsory team at an elite gym that's well-known for being aggressive and extremely competitive. Is it ok for a coach to pull / push the gymnasts' legs beyond normal splits, to the point the girls are crying and telling the coach to please stop, but the coach insists they...
Ugh. D's left thumb is hurting. There is no point tenderness anywhere. you can push along the bone without any pain. It hurts in the "fat pad" for lack of better word, and around the inside. Appt. tomorrow. No direct injury to it at all....opefully just bruised.
DS is 9 and a level 6. Last night he left the gym complaining about his wrists. His words were "I think I need Tiger Paws." I asked when it hurt and he said floor. They are working hard on floor basics, LOTS of BHS and handstands. He is also doing 100's of circles and an lot more PBar work...

It first started happening when she would be off from Saturday to...
