wrist

Well, our first day of team camp didn't go as swimmingly as I'd hoped. DD has been so excited for this camp, she's had one of those weeks/months when things are really starting to come together. Back layouts look nice, *this* close on her giants, sticking BHS on high beam without a spot, even...

I've recently started working giants again on strap bar and am finding them pretty scary because I haven't quite got the hang of the wrist shift. The strap bar I use has the pvc pipe around the thin metal bars. One time I couldn't get my wrists to shift and was stuck on handstand without my...

Hi! I have really weak wrists and they start hurting whenever I do backhandsprings. I wanted to know if anyone had any exercises for me to do to strenghten my wrists. And multiple coaches have already looked at my back handspring and I am doing it properly it's really just that my wrists are...

I am a gym owner myself and have always had the stance that bracing should not happen unless absolutely needed. Now as I mom of a 5 year old practicing about 3.5 hours a week I am starting to second guess my stance, so I wanted to see what you guys thought. She is experiencing wrist pain at...

Hey y'all! First real thread, woo! Anywho, when I was 11, I had a pretty bad injury where I ended up with 5 stress fractures in my right wrist and 7 in my left. I had a rough time coming back from that, but I did it and continued doing gym for 3-4 more years until I got fed up with the pain and...

I've noticed that my wrists hurt when doing back handsprings, or skills like press handstands where you have to lean over your wrists. They also sometimes hurt when doing a bunch of front hip circles. Do you know any ways to strengthen my wrists so that they won't hurt as much?

Any advice or recommendations? My DDs wrists are bothering her, but I am not sure how much. It doesn't affect her skills at all. You just see her bending and rotating them after vault and floor. She says they bother her, but isn't in any distress. The minute she leaves the gym she doesn't...

Ok so my mom ordered wrist supports last week prior to this I went to the doctors and he said that he couldn't find anything wrong but recommended wrist supports to ease pain. I just got them today and i haven't said anything to my coaches about it . 1) Its really hard for me to approach/talk...

Iuse tiger paws but some friends from gym refuse even though they say their wrists are killing them, they say that they don't want to be dependent on them and that supports will only make their wrists weaker. They say if you keep doing stuff without them your wrists will get stronger. Do they...

This thread probably was already brought up, but I can't find it. So, I need wrist supports for vault. I'm 13, so I have very limited money, and the 'rents already pay a lot of money for me to train. Would you recommend golden hands, tiger paws, panda paws or the GK wristsaver? Also, I need more...

My daughter has been wearing wrist supports for the past 4 months. (not Tiger Paws, just the kind from the local pharmacy as recommended by her ortho) They SMELL!!! She wears them for all of practice (except bars when she wears grips....don't know what those smell like but they stay at the gym...

I have a few girls (my daughter included) who have tiny hands are they are really struggling with their wrist shifts during BHC and mill circles on bars. Besides the drills with the floor bar os simple wrist shifts are there any other good ideas you have tried and had success with???

My dd is a competitive gymnast and was complaining of wrist pain took her to the doctor and they said they were cysts and drained them. Is it common for gymnasts to get cysts on their wrist? Any tips on how to prevent them?anything know about them?

Female gymnasts wear Tiger Paws for tumbling to support their wrists, so what do male gymnasts wear?:eek:

DD has to get grips for the first time. Her coach said to get the double buckle Reisport. I don't know what size wrist bands to order...2.5 inches or 4.5 inches? She is 8, if that matters.

At the end of 2010 I was diagnosed with tenosynovitis in my wrist and was advised to rest it for 3 weeks by my doctor. Over the last few months it has flared up again and I am thinking of buying a pair of panda paws to support my wrists for gym. Are they worth it and will they actually help? I...

Well, it was a good few years of no rips, but today dd came home with a huge blood blister probably an inch in diameter) in the center of her palm. it seems like there is a lot of thick skin on top of the blister, so when it blows, it is going to be a huge hole. What is the best way to deal...

Wednesday at practice, my dd broke her wrist. It was the scariest thing when I get the call from the gym saying that your daughter hurt her wrist and is screaming on the floor. Especially when your a hour hour away.... We had to go in an ambulance and her wrist was popped out of place and the...

I've hurt my wrist, I'm pretty sure it is from doing too many round-offs at training. I also think it is because I can't turn my hand in ninety degrees, probably putting extra stress into that part of the wrist. Went to physio who says problem is in the scaphoid (in the side of my wrist at the...
