Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is nothing like a skin twist. It is spasm or catch in the abdominal muscles that caused that pain. Watch your technique. Do gymnastics under supervision. Feel free to practice but be careful. Always keep a muscle spray like volini in handy. Hot fomentation is also helpful. Carry Hifenac MR tablets, and have one.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Deepti Shivakumar
