    All-Star Random Cheerleading Questions

    I don't know brea, but I can tell you that the brace she wore on day 1 wouldnt have prevented tearing her acl! In fact, when I retore my acl my surgeon said an ACL brace wouldnt have prevented it. Obviously, she had been having some sort of issue so she possibly could have partially torn it and...

    Why'd you need a knee brace? I tore my acl, then retore it along with my mcl and meniscus so i've become obsessed with knee injuries/braces lol

    All-Star Most Recent Injury in Cheerleading, and How you did it.

    Well, ive totally destroyed my knee now but yes there has been growth. My misfortune has helped, but all the gyms im involved with now have anti-ACL tear programs and other knee health training. Im glad I can help, and still know tons of girls who battle injuries, as they are part of the sport...

    All-Star Confessions Of A Cheerleader

    I always look for other girls wearing knee braces. I feel like such a weirdo when I do it, but I cant help it. Ive had 2 surgeries on my knee and have become super interested in sports medicine in general, but I feel like a freak who has become obsessed with knee injuries

    All-Star Kt Tape

    I first tried it during prehab before acl/mcl/meniscus surgery but my knee felt way too unstable, so I used my old acl sports brace (this is my second surgery). So at first I thought it was a joke, but i've tried it post-op and it does help some, but I still much prefer my donjoy!

    Comebacks After Acl Injuries

    I agree, most importantly is your doctor's opinion. That being said, it is also very important to be honest with your doctor. I lied after my first surgery because i wanted to be fully cleared sooner and unfortunately, my lies worked. Right after they told me I could stop wearing my brace, I...

    Acl Prevention Training

    Thanks, tinytumblersmom and you're right, even just little things help! That's great you have your daughter in a formal class though. I think it's crazy how widespread injuries are, but most gyms overlook these programs.

    Thanx so much ualegacyxbria and Ems! I really appreciate your responses, im coming back from a re-injury so i definitely dont want to rehurt myself. But at the same time, I've basically been out for two years (considering how short my comeback and how much more i have to go) that if i sit out a...

    Thx so much, I've been trying to look but I'm not positive what skills i will have since im still recovering. I think I should be able to get back most of my level 4 skills but I dont wanna promise a coach something i cant do... I really appreciate the advice though!!

    All-Star Injuries In Gymnastics And Their Industry's Take On It...

    I was on the verge of becoming a lvl 5 and retore my acl doing a full... It isnt about the level, its about the training, coaches, and conditioning. There isnt one person to blame usually, for me I shouldnt have rushed back and lied about how my knee felt, but my coach shouldve looked out for me...

    Soooo, Im still recovering from a second acl surgery on my left knee (along with mcl and meniscus). At first, my doctor thought my meniscus was totally destroyed but after surgery he said he saved a little. Im still having issues with scar tissue and will probably need a cleanout surgery, but...
