ankle

I just got back to cheer after a 3 week leave due to a knee injury. Before taking a break, I could easily throw round off two to tucks, standing two tucks, and round off fulls. After coming back, I had lost most of my tumbling, but within a week the majority of it was back(other than standing...

Hi all, I'd be grateful for any advice on using ankle weights to help flyers improve their stretches. It seems a good idea in theory, and there are certainly lots of instructional videos that advocate doing it, but I've also read some people are opposed for the potential strain it puts on...

I saw this article on a Facebook ad and wanted to share. Stretching Doesn't Work, Ankle Weights Make You Slow And Other Advice For Gymnasts & Cheerleaders by Coach Sahil | Drills, Interview | Key Highlights: Best practices for recovery and injury prevention The most useful exercises to...

Hi all! I have slightly bowed shins (they aren't 100% straight, bow out to the side slightly) which causes my ankles to roll outwards then when I try to correct this my ankles roll the other way. I've heard insoles can help to prevent this. I'm a flyer as well so would have to fit in cheer...

Hi! Im a flyer and Im in need of a good supportive ankle brace, but isn't bulky so that my back spot can still have a decent grip. Any help would be great thanks! :)

How long of a break do you take from tumbling after you sprain your ankle? I keep waiting a while and then going back when I think I'm ready and then it just re-injures.

I have injured my ankle about a year ago. I badly sprained it by just applying to much pressure in the wrong area (similar to rolling my ankle). I never went to a doctor and i tried to ignore it (I know bad idea) and it has healed slightly. Ever since my ankle looks a little misshapen, the only...

All through High School I used the ASO braces on both of my ankles. I loved them, but I hate how bulky they are and its time that I get new ones anyways. I have tendon damage in both ankles, so I need an ankle brace that supports as well as the ASO, but I want one that is less bulky. Does anyone...

My CP has started complaining of ankle pain every time she tumbles. It's the same ankle and I'm wondering if a brace or wrapping it prior to tumbling might help? She's not doing any twisting skills. Just backhandspring and tucks. Thanks! The Fierce Board App! || iPhone || Android

So, a few years ago I broke my ankle and it wasn't caught until a 6 months later from an MRI because I insisted it had broken and it wasn't actually sprained. So fast forward it always bothers me once and awhile but it's been bothering me a lot lately and I just applied for a job where i'll...

So latlely my ankle has been hurting. If I point my toe and come back up, it cracks over and over and the top above my ankle hurts. I feel like it is unhinged. I went to the doctor a month ago or so for knee pain and I have hypermobility in my joints... Could that be a factor? Part 2- what is...

So! Just a normal practice this morning and while warming up tumbling I fell and tried to stand up and could barley walk on my ankle. I have a competition tomorrow and I need to compete (My team already has 8 girls out due to being a very young team) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on...

So I'm very accident prone, which has resulted in an ankle that likes to give out sporadically. It once happened during a stunt, luckily my coach saved it while I regained my position. I have a cloth ankle brace that just fits snug to the foot. My question is does it go under of over my sock...

Anyone have good ankle strength conditioning for level 4 flyers? my ankles roll so much:( so any help would be appreciated! :)

Ok so I'm in a conundrum lol I need an ankle brace with moderate stability but not too bulky because my backspot needs to be able to have a good grip too. I used to use the donjoy velocity but that was for a LOT of support and it's too bulky to fly in. I tried taping, the ASO brace still...

So recently when Ive been tumbling I land on my feet, but its like my whole body is coming down on my ankles really hard and they're KILLING me! Any tips on how I can stop that? Also are there any exercises that will make my ankles stronger?
