wrist

is it normal to get cuts from grips..i have actual slices on my wrist..not rips actual cuts..wondering if i need different grips

Hi all, Just beginning to teach these skills to one of my gymnasts who just doesn't get the wrist shift and I'm a little bit at a loss as to how to fix it! She can do giants on shiny bar in gloves and loops, but she obviously doesn't have to shift her wrists for them! She can do really nice...

I've been having some pretty bad wrist problems so I'm gonna get wrist supports. i don't want to have weak wrists like some people say, so does anyone know any good wrist conditioning??? (BTW: What does DD stand for) ;) thanks!:D

Bigger Bog has had a lunate dislocation in her wrist for a few months. We haven't seen a doctor yet as that is such a challenge here. The sports physio has put it back in a few times, but now it is out and very painful. BB is away in France for three weeks and can do nothing about it there. I...

DD has been complaining about pain in her wrists when practicing backhandsprings on the beam. She has never complained about wrist (or any pain) before, so I was thinking about getting her some type of wrist support. I did a search on Chalk Bucket and there were some other discussions on Tiger...

I know there are so many questions about rips on here already, but I keep ripping on my wrists. I wear dowel grips with normal wrist bands underneath. I have had these grips for about a year, and haven't had any problems until that past few months and now it happens all the time. I love the...

I just got grips and this was my second practice using them. When I swing on the bar, the buckle part of the grip pulls upwards, so when I get on top of the bar my arms won't straighten because the buckle jams into my wrist. I'm worried the grips might be too small; the grip part sits pretty...

Sorry i know there's a lot of grip forums. But I've had my grips for a few months (reisport velcro) and i have this problem. Whenever i do skills like jumping on the bar or circular motion ones my grips slide up and it hurts my wrist. They're constantly doing that and rubbing against it. Also my...

Ok so I just started working on mill circles yesterday. And I found my right wrist hurt quite a bit with the undergrip portion of it. Went home, took some NSAIDS, figured it would be better, still hurts quite a bit today. Just wondering if anyone or their DD has experienced pain when first...

I noticed the other night at dd's practice that she was grabbing /shaking out her wrists after holding herself up in a bridge. Is this normal or is she doing something wrong? Just curious. I don't think she's strong enough yet as she has a hard time holding them for extended periods but...

Any good exercises for wrist strengthening? Either at the gym or at home exercises would be great.

Daughter uses wrist guard for gym since she had stress fx last spring. She decided last week not to use them during open gym and came out bragging that she was tumbling without them. She is 10 I am sure both the doctor and myself would prefer her to use them why take a chance of reinjuring...

Hey all, I'm 5'4" and have really small wrists and ankles, so they are always weakening my skills and they always hurt at the end of practice. What's the best way to deal with this? (p.s. I've thought about tiger paws, but I haven't tried them. They seem like they would be hard to tumble in)

Hi All, My DD is L7, and all but one girl in her group are training L8. Hence, during vault, she has not been doing many front hand springs, but the tsuks and the one where you do a RO first. (Is that a Yurchenko???) Anyway, she started complaining of wrist pain on Thursday after workout...

I was a gymnast about 3 years ago then took a break due to an ankle injury and to focus on school work. I recently started back again and now everytime I do anything that involves prolonged weight on my wrists (especially handstands), I have a severe dull ache in my wrists- it almost feels like...

Ok I have a question on the tiger Paws style wrist supports. My DD wrist measures almost 6" which on all of them says she is a small and if I go by the weight chart it says small too. DD insists she is a Med. She currently has a Small size given to her by a gymnast that left for her left...

My DD broke her had in March. She got her cast off last week. Since it has been a whole week since she got her cast off, she is still complaining of pain in her wrist when she puts pressure on it. This worries me since her wrist was not injured at all, but her hand. I think because she was...

Hey everyone! DS (age 10-level 6) has been having some wrist pain over the past several weeks....there was no injury, and it's not bad pain, just the kind where I catch him rubbing or shaking his wrists....his coach suggested getting him wrist guards, which I will do....any good suggestions on...

I am crossing my fingers daughter will make it to her State meet in less than 2 weeks. The orthpedic doctor reluctantly let her go back to tumbling and vaulting. I think we kind of pushed her it to letting her go back but tonight at practice she was fine. She did fronthandsprings and her...

Daughter had her cast removed today, she was so happy. But she only got the okay to do handstands cartwheels, she can also do bars and beam. She is not allowed to tumble yet. I am hoping she is still able to do her bars and beam routines and that she will somehow be able to do states next...
