Mark was having a great time at gymnastics camp the first couple weeks of summer, then he sprained his ankle. But we're not sure that it happened at gymnastics.
Physical Therapy Exercises
We just noticed that he was limping, and when we questioned him he said he wasn't sure what happened or why he couldn't walk right. We took him to Rob's physical therapist at Athletic Performance Center in Raleigh and he had Mark do a whole slew of exercises to try to pinpoint the problem. One exercise in particular Mark obviously could not do, and that's when he knew Mark had sprained the ankle.
So, no more gymnastics for a couple of weeks. He has to walk slowly and not jump. And every night we have to ice the ankle and do physical therapy. The good thing is that swimming is ok, so he has been able to continue with swim lessons and fun time in the pool.
Sorry to hear about his sprained ankle...not a fun way to start summer! :( I hope it heals up quickly. The gymnastics is GREAT! Oh to be a kid again and have much less fear about throwing your body into physical activity with near reckless abandon! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect activity for a boy--lots of jumping and running and flipping! Hope his ankle heals quickly!
