[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two DCs that were heavily into sports. To be honest, neither child’s issues were really resolved by sports medicine doctors. PTs (ones that dry needle) and acupuncture worked the best accompanied by a good strength trainer. The most helpful PTs did not take insurance. Our PT is able to demonstrate how restricted their range of motion is in an area, and then either massage, gun, or dry needle areas to increase motion. He’ll demonstrate the increase afterwards. Often the issue is not exactly where DC is experiencing the pain.

In the case of my DCs generally their issues were related to growth spurts.  Good luck![/quote]

She doesn’t really have pain she is dealing with. More under performance that we cannot figure out what is going on given training is the same or more than last year with worse results for months now.

The difference seems to be she’s not doing dry land at the moment. It makes a huge difference - I’d put time into squeezing that in bf I chase down a dr when you don’t have a medical problem. [/quote]

She has never done dryland though - she didn't last year either and all year she's been trying to just get back to her last year times even (still not there). Not pushing back on that becasue i disagree it would be useful, just the team's dryland is not possible for her to get to (happens when she is in school still) and i think a doctor or PT "prescription" of certain exercises - if that's what she does need - is probably more likely to get done vs her coach's general advise about it.

I posted that she should be doing dryland. No reason she has to do it w/ her team - she should do it on her own. Also she’s at the exact age where a lot of girls notice a peak in their times. It’s frustrating but as their body shape changes, so do their times. A lot of girls slow down around 15-18 as they develop hips, chest, etc. They’re suddenly swimming with a new body shape, so of course it feels off. As a parent of boy and girl swimmers, it has always seemed unfair to the girls. [/quote]
