    Parents When kids hide pain

    My daughter competed l8 this season and it went well, but her landings on floor seemed to get consistently worse as the season went on. She mentioned a bit of shin pain but really downplayed it, and I guess I should have just made an appointment when she was repeatedly using BioFreeze, but she...

    Off Topic Rip pain

    So I just found out that the head coach of my new team has a “tape it and move on“ approach to bars when you have a rip. I have a pretty low pain tolerance but do not want people to see it. How do I lessen the pain. is there anything that can safely numb it for half an hour, special way to tape...

    Parents Tiger Paws and wrist pain after bars

    Do you use tiger paws more for support or can you compete in them or both? And how do you help wrist pain with bars? Her connection is getting much better. Now she just needs to connect the squat on with it all but it’s definitely faster! Like no pause. But her wrists are having some soreness...

    WAG How to do backwards skills without back pain?

    So when I do backbends/backwalkovers it’s not exactly pain, but it’s more uncomfortable than I remember it being. When I was younger, like 9 or 10 it was WAY easier to do back walkovers and now I get scared my back will snap even though I am decently flexible, and I can walk my hands up to my...

    Looking for some advice. 3rd year level 10, previously training elite but transitioned to focus solely on level 10 in the fall.

    Anon Untreated back pain

    My daughter has a teammate who has been complaining about back pain for at least a year. Sometimes it's bad enough that she misses practice, and she's said it sometimes hurts so much that it hurts her to breathe. She's also started complaining of hip pain. Her parents will not take her to the...

    Parents How to get 8yr old to realize the importance of telling us of any pain?

    My 8yr old (training level 5) came out of practice last night limping. When we asked about it she said she was just being silly in her slides. Later at home we noticed the limp again and asked about it, again she denied it and even walked across the room without limping to prove she was fine...

    WAG Lower back pain

    About a week ago, my DD did many (12? 16? She did them in sets of 4) back walkovers on beam, which she never does because she has a block on that skill and her coach told her it’s fine, she won’t be competing it at any point anyway. She was trying to conquer this fear, our coach spotted her on...

    Parents Tiger Paws causing pain??

    Has anyone experienced this? My gymnast is a L8 and was off of her wrists for awhile due to tendonitis and bone bruising. She's been making her way back and has been 99% pain free! About 2 weeks ago, she started using her tiger paws again after being cleared for vault and is now complaining of...
