So about 6 weeks ago i broke a bone in my hand after touching down in a tuck (put my hands down and my hand was upside down, very lucky i didnt break my wrist too). Anyway I'm cleared to slowly get back into tumbling on December 3rd, and I'm very nervous. I'm not sure what I will start working on in the first few weeks, but I'll need to work quickly as that leaves only 5-6 practices until i compete.
What are some skills/drills I should work on first before trying to do a handspring or trying to do a running tuck again? I've been trying to do simple things like holding a push up position for a few seconds, but my hand isn't really strong enough to hold my weight yet...Any tips?
 
Is it possible for you to do physiotherapy? That would build up the muscle in your hand again and would be the quickest way to get your skills back
