[quote=Anonymous]Not gymnastics but my kid had a pretty bad injury this year.

I was afraid that they'd never be the same or have long lasting effects from it.  ie will always be kind of sore depending on the weather, never regain the full range of motion or mobility, etc.

And it kind of annoyed me that it seemed like the orthopedist was just going by the book rather than looking at our kid's specific case and progress.

But it's like I told my kid, be smart about it, don't do anything stupid and let them fully heal before getting back to it.  For their activities, there's examples of players who try to come back too early and worsens their injury are either never the same or can't ever play again.  So I was able to point to those examples.

My kid does multiple activities and they seem to be doing okay in the activities they resumed so far.  Will have to see how they do in the others.

It did help that my kid's coach still encouraged them to attend team events and still feel like part of the team while they were sidelined.

So I'm along the same lines as the previous poster in having your daughter maybe stick to basic things that won't stress her shoulder while it recovers.

When I was researching rehab for my kid, I did come across a video of a gymnast with a similar injury that my kid had and it seemed like she recovered okay:

So am wishing your daughter a speedy recovery and hope she will be back to the same level she was competing at before soon![/quote]
