What injuries has your gymnast sustained as a direct result of gymnastics? (only from gym training - not from tripping on the curb, snowboarding, playground, etc..)
What was the outcome of each? i.e., missed 2 months of gym and full recovery; PT for 8 weeks then re-injured and out for 6 months, still ongoing.....
I thought it could be useful to parents/people new to gymnastics (or new to injuries) to have a collection of individual accounts of injuries directly related to gymnastics sustained over a gymnast's career to date. Perhaps as a kind of collective gauge of specific common injuries, as well as to get a sense of the realistic life of a gymnast in terms of injury expectations. All gymnasts are unique of course, and this is not intended to be scientific.
Care to add yours? (Feel free to add more/less detail)
