[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What team sport does she do? I did all of the party tricks as a child, but ended up with multiple joint repair surgeries from overuse injuries once sports training got serious in high school. And I would absolutely not continue her in a dance studio that isn’t informed on physiology and her needs. Both because they’ll encourage dangerous practices, and because they SHOULD be teaching her how to take care of her joints.[/quote]

She plays soccer, on a rec team (one of the more low key teams). Dancing is her new (full steam ahead) passion. I have her in a studio that does not do competitions. She wanted to compete, but I’ve steered her away from that. Her focus now is getting onto the studio’s dance team, followed by a poms team in middle school and high school. She is a laser focused kind of kid.

I’m very interested in getting some more education on how to care for her joints. She also has flat feet, which I’ve always assumed is related. I briefly took her to PT for the feet, but they let us go because she is living an active, healthy lifestyle. [/quote]
