Women Shoulder Flex

[Supportive_Mum]

Hi all my dd (7) has very tight shoulders and needs to improve her shoulder flex. I am concerned this will hinder her progression now she is required to start flipping. Please would you share with me some stretches and also can this be fixed?

What do her coaches say? Have they expressed any concerns?

 

[Supportive_Mum]

The coach recommended I take her to a physiotherapist.

Shoulder flexibility can certainly be improved, though she will very likely never be the most flexible. I don't feel comfortable suggesting stretches without knowing your daughter but physiotherapy sounds like a good idea.

It might actually not all be in her shoulders. Here's an interesting perspective, for instance.

Thanks yeah i have seen this guy. I have a couple of appointments with sports physics to get two different opinions.
