I wasn't sure if I should post this here or parents area. But I figured gymnasts would know.
My 6 y/o DD is double jointed in her elbows and her shoulders. She has recently started saying her shoulder is hurting, and I am unsure how she can stretch the right way to help her. Also I worry about her elbows a lot because they hyper extend (if that's what its called?) all the time. I mean just walking on beam her elbows poke the wrong direction. So two part question..
1. any suggestions on how to stretch the shoulder that's bothering her?
2. her elbows look weird to me when she does everything.. And some parents have mentioned that a lot of gymnasts with double jointed elbows break them easily? Is that true? And when she starts competing will the elbows affect her scores?
Thanks!
