Literally! My 8 year old daughter has been complaining the last few months of like a muscle pain across the middle of both butt cheeks when in cheer. I took her to a children's chiro and he did a little adjustment on her and she said she hurt worse. I took her to a physical therapist who said her hamstrings are realllly tight and showed us some great stretches. We have been doing the stretches every morning and night and she is better, now the pain only comes when she is doing back walkovers or front walkovers---no pain when she does BHS or round off BHS though, which has led me to the conclusion that maybe it has something to do with the motion of kicking one leg over at a time? Her form with back walkovers is beautiful---front walkovers could use some work, it looks like she struggles to get upright most of the time. Anyone ever heard of a literal pain in the butt like this before? I'm not sure what to do next and hoping it's just a matter of needing to stretch more or maybe she is growing---maybe some of you have had or heard of this before. Thanks in advance!!
