The other thread about presses and rope climbing got me wondering....
What exercises would you suggest for 8yo who seems to have good strength for presses and cannot rope climb well at all. I would assume it would be work on her biceps and triceps, but should a child at that age be using weights?
Another issue is my DD has extremely hyper-mobile elbows. She is currently in physio for "golfers elbow" and also has "tennis elbow" in the same arm. Per the doctor there is more tightness and heat on the inside rather than the outside, but she tested positive for both. They are currently doing ultrasound and we are icing and resting as much as she ever rests.
I think this came from overuse while dealing with a bad case of severs and doing a lot of training with her arms while her severs was healing, but I would also think strengthening the area maybe an option. BTW they also suggested keeping the arm bent - my DD was in shock and said that was not allowed!
