Do you use tiger paws more for support or can you compete in them or both?
And how do you help wrist pain with bars? Her connection is getting much better. Now she just needs to connect the squat on with it all but it’s definitely faster! Like no pause.
But her wrists are having some soreness...
Let's see who it the hardest working gymnast by posting photos of your well loved
gymnastics gear such as your grips, wristbands, tiger paws, ankle braces, beam/acro shoes
or tuli's cheetah neoprene heels cups!! haha
Hi,
When a gymnast uses tiger paws after a wrist injury, should they be worn on both wrists or just the injured one? Will wearing just one cause stress on the other wrist? Thanks!
Daughter likes her tiger paws and they help with her wrists for the most part but a more recent issue is sometimes she gets tenderness almost like bruises from the tiger paws further up her arm... like mid forearm from where the tiger paw pushes into her arm. Is there anything that can help with...
Has anyone experienced this?
My gymnast is a L8 and was off of her wrists for awhile due to tendonitis and bone bruising. She's been making her way back and has been 99% pain free! About 2 weeks ago, she started using her tiger paws again after being cleared for vault and is now complaining of...
We teach front tumbling a specific way that reduces upper extremity impact as well. I've never thought of it as a wrist saver until now... but it definitely is. If anyone is interested in that... just let me know... but that's a whole other topic.
EDIT: This is a post that was split from the...
Another thread on here got me curious about Tiger Paws. My daughter is a L9 and several of the other 8/9/10 girls have them, but I certainly wouldn't say the majority. From reading the other thread, I started thinking that perhaps it would make sense to wear them proactively (to reduce...
My Daughter started using tiger paws at the begining of the summer due to some wrist pain and the skills she is working (timers on vault etc). They seem to be helping with her wrist pain in her actual wrist but she has started to complain of some pain in her mid forearm. It is basically where...
When DD got gymnast wrist the first time, because it was mild and the gym disapproved, we didn't put her in supports. Big mistake bc of course it came back and was worse. So I think out of guilt, I went and researched and bought every support out there to see what worked best for her and what...
Hi there,
My daughter suffered wrist pain for years and it is now under control with Link Removed. The coach has asked the girls to switch to the ezywrap wrist support. According to my DD, coach says these are better for maintaining wrist strength in the long run. I'm open to it, but not...
My DD wants these. She borrowed some from a friend and said she liked how they supported her wrists. She is level 6 and trying to get to level 7 before start of competition. They have started working on higher level vault skills, but I know those aren't required yet. Her coach said she...
does anyone have an experience with cheaper brands? Everywhere I've looked range from $75-$90AUD not including shipping. I've found "wrist-eez" for $30 for one, and technically she only needs one. Just wondering if it's worth it or to go with actual tiger paws?
I know this topic is out there and I have read some of the old posts/threads. I am having a hard time determining how everyone decided their gymmie needed Tiger Paws.
My DD has never had wrist pain, but has been complaining the last week about it only in one wrist. She says she has pain only...
My child so far had escaped needing these, but I know her time will come. My friends child at the gym is mentioning wrist pain with backhandsprings...she is a level 7 and done more than her share of them. Sports ortho says all is well, but needs wrist supports. I thought I would ask for her (she...
Hello! My wrist has really been giving me trouble lately, I figured it would just go away so I didn't really do anything about it. My coach finally asked what was wrong with my tumbling and after explaining my wrist she suggested using my friend's Tiger Paws. They really helped and I need to buy...
Is there any way to order tiger paws without paying outrageous shipping charges? All the U.S. websites I've found want $50+ for delivery on top of the cost of the Paws. :(
