So I went to the doctor today and she believes I've torn my MCL and ACL but that the MCL is worse. Anyway I start physio next week since that's the earliest I can go and I asked about a brace for dance and working out and such as I'm still pretty active despite not cheering anymore and she said...

hey ya'll, I know, I'm on a roll of fun stuff to share. We have a FB group of all the SRU ATCs and share cool stuff we find. Thought this would be of interest since unfortunately this is an injury all too familiar to many of our athletes. The future of treating ACL tears: No cutting, no...

Hi, I'm 16 and I just started cheerleading last year as a freshman. Because I was so new to cheer, I felt like I was holding the team back a lot so I began practicing jumps, tumbling and dancing for hours by myself everyday, and got into varsity the next year. This January, all the practicing...

Hey everybody, I'm currently recovering from my second ACL surgery and have become obsessed with all things knee related. I've been reading about some differrent training programs they have started to help keep girls from hurting their knees. I really really wanna spread this around and get it...

i just retore my acl and ive heard some suggestions that i should skip the surgery and just wear a brace, but ive never heard of a cheerleader doing it only other sports. is there any chance i could ever cheer in college without an acl?

So I just tore my ACL and have been told I need to start budgeting for a brace since our insurance wont cover it. So, a couple of questions for my fellow gimps on the board :) How much did yours cost? Where did you get it? What style worked best for you? Any tips for rehabing an ACL and...

Who wears knee braces and which ones are good and which ones should be avoided?

We always hear about acl tears and how traumatic they are. Usually they happen to athletes that are level 5 or more advanced though. I've never heard of a level 2 cheerleader tearing there acl. Do you think it has anything to do with it? And, if you tore your acl, what level are you? Share your...

So I just got my ACL reconstruction today. The doctor said that both my lateral and medial meniscus were damaged beyond repair and removed them. Has anyone had this done before? Any chances of me tumbling/stunting again?

Hey fierce boarders I need your opinion especially if you have a experience with torn acl's I landed my pass and completely torn my acl, ripped my minuscus, and sprained my mcl.. So here is the question do I stay in routine and either hope I can tumble, and stunt like I used to or even just...

So, when they first came out I was thinking about getting the Nfinity Phoenix and I ending up tearing my ACL (again) before I ever got them. I am looking to get a new pair of cheer shoes and am debating between getting the Evolutions I always get or getting the Phoenix. I am wondering if anyone...
