Common Questions and Answers about Flexibility in volleyball

flexibility

Avatar n tn m extremely active and I play volleyball around 3 hours every day and I plan to play in college. My hamstrings are not tight, most doctors are amazed at my flexibility, and have suggested I'm hyperflexible. I have tried a medrol dose pack, muscle relexers, a tens unit, a back brace, 7 months of physical therapy three times a week which included electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage, joint mobes, strength excersizes, stretching, traction, and yoga moves.
Avatar m tn she told me no more weightlifting, excersices such as leg squats, pushups and pullups, no jogging or running, and no sports like football, basketball,soccer. I only play volleyball now in high school and she said that was ok. This really confused me because high school volleyball is intense and it is a workout. i dont play volleyball for relaxation, a play for fun and competition. shes also said i could bike and walk.
Avatar f tn Are you talking about volleyball in school? Usually they have a policy about athletic participation with pregnant girls - and have rules about how far along you can be and still play.
Avatar m tn I still suffer from excruciating cramp in my feet. Over the last 2 years I have built up the muscles in my feet and have increased flexibility with daily stretches and exercises but still suffer from painful cramp in my arches and toes. It seems to occur when my toes are pointed for long periods of time as I tend to tense my feet quite hard.
Avatar m tn I have flexibility issues in almost all of my joints (Knees, elbow, wrist, ankle). Coincidentally, all the joints in the right side of my body are worse. I cannot squat as the back of my feet cannot touch my butt, my hand cannot touch my shoulder, cannot do pushup as wrist will hurt a lot. I have done xrays but doctor said my xrays are fine. Went through physiotherapy but joints flexibility does not improve no matter how much i stretched.
Avatar n tn I think if your body is used to it you are fine. I continued to play volleyball and workout in the gym for my first trimester. Hope you get a BFP!!
5245618 tn?1365687749 I play 3rd base for my school softball team and I have been experiencing pain in my right shoulder when I throw to 1st base. I also play volleyball so this effects my in volleyball. I also have pain in my elbow when I throw or serve. Any idea what it is or what I should to to stop the pain?
Avatar n tn I would avoid an intense sport like volleyball. I played for a while in school and it could be dangerous if played the way we did. Try to take it easy. Probably not worth the risk.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor. A friend of mine who's still in her first trimester was supposed to play in a softball league this summer but her doctor vetoed that so she had to withdraw.
Avatar f tn so I'm 5 weeks pregnant, and I'm on a volleyball team for about the next 5 weeks.. I asked my doctor and he said it's fine as long as I'm careful of my tummy area because it's good to stay active. I feel nervous to keep playing because of the jumping and running around. of course I'm not going to be diving on the floor and such, but what are you thoughts about this? I've heard both ways, and I don't want to risk anything.
Avatar f tn I am going to try to get into my doctor ASAP to confirm but I also play sand volleyball. I am supposed to play tomorrow. Would that hurt the baby at all? Obviously baby comes first.

Avatar f tn s already been clearly stated you can not get HIV from this and fear of a volleyball or just blood out in the open is irrational. Talk to your doctor about anxiety.
Avatar f tn If you look at professional beach volleyball players, the women are basically flat chested because they have almost zero body fat. Hormone levels, stress, weight gain, etc can all cause an increase in breast size. You can continue to develop and grow up until your early 20s, but typically you will have a very similar size chest to that of what your mom has. If your mom has large breasts, then most likely so will you. Take care.
Avatar f tn Perhaps you could play volleyball for the fun of it, but it sounds like competitive volleyball is not your best option right now. Give yourself time (something many of us wish we had done!). You can gradually add more activity over time, but you cannot fix your brain or nerve damage once done. Listen to your body and don't feel bad about resting as needed or stepping back.
Avatar f tn Was playing volleyball and I spikes the ball I didnt jump but then I felt bubbles. Im paranoid as fudge rn. Am I okay?
Avatar f tn ve had a baby bump since I was 18 weeks, and now I feel so huge. it looks like I have a volleyball under my shirt. I can hardly get up when sitting on the couch, but I'm still so excited! Sorry for the venting, but I'm sure all of yall can't wait!
Avatar n tn My 80 year old mother had TKR surgery last week. She says when she stands or sits for any length of time, her foot hurts and she must lay down to relieve the pain. The doctor said this is typical because of blood rushing to the foot and recommended putting the support sock on. Has anyone else experienced this? Everyone is impressed with her flexibility and she's doing her exercises regularly but this pain has really gotten her concerned and regrets getting the surgery.
Avatar m tn hello, I play volleyball, which is hard on the knees from diving to jumping all the time... a few months ago I dove and hit my knee on the groung very hard. My knee pain went away and it recently has come back. It feels like a knife goes into my knee right below my knee cap every time i jump or put a lot of pressure on it like trying to stand up. I have been icing it, but it won't go away....Does anyone 1. Know what is wrong? or 2. Know how to fix it?
Avatar f tn If the beach volleyball gal can play beach volleyball when pregnant and win the gold in the Olympics, you can certainly dance if your body is used to it.
Avatar m tn There was no need for any chemo or radiation since the tumor was well encapsulated. He engaged in all follow up tests and recent routine tests were all normal except his abdominal CT Scan showed some swelling in his bladder lining. All urine tests were normal - no signs of blood or infection...no sense of urgency to urinate or anything else unusual.
438814 tn?1278349158 I am only 16 and play volleyball, softball, and I cheerlead. Normally the pain in my back gets set off by playing sports. Especially when it involves making hard movements with my arms. For example, Spiking and Serving in volleyball kill my back. It get to the point where I have pain shooting clear down my left leg. I went to the doctor once but he said that it had something to do with my pubic bone and should stop hurting once a took a couple weeks off of sports. He was wrong!
Avatar m tn Hi Brad, I agree with nickppatel re the leg activity in water polo. I played water polo for 6 years in my late teens to early twenties (then joined the military) and I have a full understanding on the amount of leg work required just to play water polo, let alone being the goalie.
Avatar n tn Hello Community - while playing volleyball in the sand, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my toe. I checked my toe for signs of blood. I may have noticed a slight amount of blood. I then checked the surrounding area for needles and syringes. I was not able to recover a needle, however, since I was in deeper sand, I feel as though the needle may have been buried deeper in the sand.
Avatar f tn Okay I figured it's time to get some opinions on this.. Back in March I was at volleyball practice when I lost vision, left hand and mouth went numb, and my speech was all messed up. I'd try to say one word but come up with something totally different, couldn't even put a name to my team-mates faces. Ended up in hospital that night, did some tests, no irregular results. Saw a cardiologist for more tests, nothing. But now it's happening again and it's getting worse.
