the answer to this question depends on how serious your scoliosis is and how your going to treat it, i would say it probably wouldn't be but if you have had the operation like i have it might well be, i am now unable to bend down and touch my toes without bending my knees wheras before i could limbo, go into a crab and put my feet behind my head
No it is never too late to start gymnastics you can always take a tumbling class or something.
Scoliosis is a disorder of unknown origin. About 85% of cases occur in girls between the ages of 12 and 15, who are experiencing adolescent growth spurt
This is my question, but i wanted to add some more information. basically i am 15, i started gymnastics when i was seven and was an elite gymnast. i quite and havent done 4 piece in about 8 years, i can tumble on floor and do handspring on vault, do you think that i am too old to try to be an elite gymnast now. i have been doing acrobatic gymnastics for about 6 months, i am in the squad, but i want to do artistic gymnastics. what do you think?
Yes gymnastics is for all ages. There are classes from mommy and me classes to adult classes in certain gymnastics centers. I started gymnastics at a late age for gymnastics. I started at the age of 10 ( I'm 15 now) and I'm now doing competitive gymnastics. But since I did start gymnastics later I'm not at a very high competitive level. My coaches told me if I did start gymnastics at an earlier age like everyone else I could've been at least a level 9 or maybe even 10! But since I do other stuff like cheerleading at school and gymnastics and I'm in high school now I do prep op gymnastics which is gymnastics which is not as committed as being an optional gymnast. Gymnastics is good to start young since your body is really flexible and your not afraid to try new skills and to build motor skills. If you started late like me its also good because you work on flexibility, strength, endurance, and it helps you get disciplined and stay focus at school. Almost every gymnasts get straight As. Adult classes are also good to start since adults also need exercise and they work on flexibility and strength to work on bone strength and endurance. So yes gymnastics is for all ages, and you have plenty of choices to choose from like mommy and me, adult, rec team, competitive team, and prep op levels. Hope this helped. Jean
