Does anyone have or know of a gymnast with hyper mobility syndrome that has been successful in gymnastics? DD's occupational therapist spoke with me and told me that she definitely has this. She is extremely flexible like a pretzel, but she has some hip flexor tightness as a result, low muscle tone (very hard for her to "be tight" but has had low tone since birth), and her back is extremely archy. We have had kind of a roller coaster first year on team. She did awesome at her meet but has so many form issues that are hard for her to overcome plus she has ADHD. Is this something I need to talk to her coaches about so they will stop letting her blow off conditioning? Is this more of a PT issue? She may require some serious patience to coach. The gym owner is seeing what's going on with her and I've heard him comment, but he doesn't work directly with the kids that often.
