wrist

Hello! My DD has never had any wrist issues. Her besst friend had it, because she overworked them last summer training and it has not gotten better since. I really really don't want to deal with anything like that in future, so I will do everything that my child can be in gymnastics as long as...

My dd hurt her wrist at practice. She didn't hurt that bad but took her to doc and ot turns out she fractured her growth plate in the wrist. My question is can she come back from that? Doc says of course she can but I just wonder. The look on her coaches faces didn't give me that impression...

My kip is spot on- until I have to rotate my wrists, so I never finish it. I always rotate them too early or too late. Ade there any drills I can do at home to practice timing of wrist rotation or even just practice rotating?

So I'm a level 8 gymnast and I have a problem... My coach has compared it to being pigeon toed... But with my wrists... So my wrists turn out on EVERYTHING. I have done it since I was little (I remember my level 4 coach attempting to correct it). It hurts really bad to turn them it and I just...

I have hurt my left wrist at least 3 times doing back handsprings on low beam by myself. My left hand is behind my right hand when I grab the beam, and will slip too far to the right and twist. It's bothering me because this time when it happened, I couldn't do back handsprings on beam for a...

My daughter has to do a product review for school and has chosen a Tiger Paws wrist guards. She needs to talk about what materials are in them, and it says very little on their website except that they are "split grain leather." Also, she's supposed to talk about it's competitors. Does anyone...

Dd has just started her normal training sessions after training for her meet just gone (she started gymnastics in August and went straight into competition practice. At her last session they went on the strap bar and used gloves from the gym club - these were far to big for dd's hands, she has...

My dd is a new level 4 gymnast. She is really starting to have back pain doing bridges, back bends, back handsprings, etc... She also complains of ankle pain when tumbling and wrist pain when doing back handsprings. Does anyone have any recommendations for doctors in Boston? Do I take her to a...

In the last 2 years I have broke my right hand and sprained my left. I have also had problems with my wrist giving out. I was wondering if there is any stretch or exercise I would be able to do in order to avoid further injury or to strengthen my hands and wrist.

DS had his surgery 8 weeks ago. He has been doing PT for 3 full weeks, 3 X per week..... He got the OK from the PT to begin to 'swing' on High Bar......He said 'GIANTS???" she said NO! Only basic swings..LOL DS was THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!! Best part is NO PAIN.... I am not holding my breath, but...

I looked back at old threads and saw a lot of discussion on Tiger Paws v. Golden Hands brands which helped a lot. I'm not even sure if Golden Hands has this option, but Tiger Paws has waterproof and non-waterproof. The comments on the website said that the waterproof are less slippery and...

3 weeks and a day ago DS fell at school recess. He was playing tag, running on concrete. Another kid (not playing tag) kicked a ball, it rolled in front of DS as he ran by, he tripped on it. Another kid told him that he "looked like Superman for a few seconds". So apparently he flew through...

So far this season my DD has been plagued with wrist rips. She is a new 5 (old 6), but she trains higher level skills, uses the strap bar, etc. This is the first season she has had these rips. She tapes balloons to the rips, and is currently wearing 3 of them. The balloon trick does work...

I've been having some bad wrist/hand pain the last few weeks. I don't wear tiger paws or anything to support my wrists. Ill be doing back walkovers or back handsprings or front handspring vaults and it just hurts badly!! I know y'all are going to say I need to ask a doctor, but I need to know...

Have an 8 year old who has been complaining her wrists hurt for a couple months now. We've been taping and doing some strength but with no effect. Is she too young for tiger paws? For those with experience with this,what has helped?

Can I get some good ideas for teaching the regrasp of the bar to keep from peeling off on a kip that is coming out of a handstand? I have had her do it in slow motion, but she can't get it coming down fast. I know that some kids have no issue with this and some kids do. I'm working with a very...

I am working on my bhs on beam and have done it on low beam with no mats a few times. The problem is that every time I work on them, or any sort of tumbling requiring hands, my wrists really start hurting. I feel like its stopping me from not practicing as hard as i could be and I dread going to...

Both of my ankles are bad and I wear braces on both of them for practice. The braces can get annoying and I would like to practice without them but I don't want to injure myself. I also wear tiger paws and I would like to practice without them too. Any tips on strengthening my wrists and ankles??

Does anyone have any drills that help explain wrist shifting for bars? These specific kids have the right idea/form to do skills like clearhip to handstand and monkey circles/monkey gaints, but their wrists are always caught at the bottom, because they forget to shift. Any drills, tips, or...

Is it normal to have pain all over after gymnastics and tumbling? I'm just always in pain as long as I'm in the sport. I need skills that hurt my back to make team and pain will not get in the way of my goals. It feels like I tore stuff.
