AboutRobert Davis Expertise I can answer questions about technique, strength and endurance training, healing from injuries, and competitions. I can also answer questions from parents of gymnasts, as I have five children of my own now.
Experience I competed in gymnastics for 16 years, from age 8 to 24, the last six of those years on the Arizona State Men's Gymnastics Team (www.sundevilgymnastics.com).
Question Five or six hours after a competition my knees were sore and I don't know any stretches to fix it. I don't know if I did something during the meet or if it's normal. So what I'm trying to ask is do you have any good stretches for knees?
Answer Hi Haley,
You may have slightly over extended your knees at some point during the competition but didn't notice until later when the excitement wore off. If that is the case I would suggest taking it easy for a few days, and if they hurt you can put some healing paste on them (see http://www.goodfeelingplace.com/turmeric-and-salt-for-a-strained-ankle/ for details about that), which will help them feel better.
Regards,
Robert
