What Is The Remedy For Leg Pain After A Back Handspring Into A Split?
I'm a cheer coach for middle schoolers and today one of my girls did a back handspring into a split and heard something pop. She says it hurts to stand or walk and it hurts in the back of her leg and butt. She has been icing it, what else can we do to help this heal faster and what could the injury be?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury .
She need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest her to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. She may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Beside icing and elevating it, she can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
