wrist

I was just curious about what level/ skills you start to need wrist guards for as some of my friends at gym have been talking about getting them but i dont think we need them yet? thanks

How common is wrist pain in gymnastics. My daughter who is 10yr-level5 last week started complaining of wrist pain during her floor tumbling. I had a couple of the coaches try to figure out what is going on there is no swelling and she is able to do her skills. She tries to act like nothing is...

Hello all, DD's sports med doc and PT gave her the okay to do tumble, do bars and beam yesterday. Today was her first time back on bars even though she's been conditioning every gym day since December 10th when she broke her wrist. Obvioulsy hasn't done bars since that date though. Today...

Dear All: My 11 year old is a level 6 gymnast. She took 2nd last year at state last spring in her age group in level 5. Since then, she has had her appendix removed in July and then just recently broke her arm about a month ago. Its been a long haul but she loves the sport. She was in a...

So something weird happened to me today... I woke up to find my left wrist was really sore. It's gotten slightly better but I don't get why it happened; I haven't done gym for the past week because my head is full of snot. :mad: I've been thinking lately that I ought to just buy some wrist...

I have a gymnast who has chronic, intermittent wrist pain. She has been diagnosed with "gymnast's wrist" by our local ortho dr's. She is just turned 11, 2nd year level 7, pretty tiny. I am not turning up much in my research that has been helpful. Does anyone have any advice, strengthening...

So I almost have my kip, but I just can't seem to quite get all the way to support, I think it's because I don't know how to shift my wrists; I'm totally confused about how to do that... I've heard you have to "almost peel off" but I don't know when this is supposed to happen? Do I jump them...

I recently moved up to level 7 and so i have been doing a lot of giants on strap-bar. Well, because of this, my wrists are all torn up, riped, and were bleeding! I now have a HUGE scab on my wrist from the straps and it won't go away, every day at gym it starts bleeding again from the straps...

Well I ALMOST have my kip, but I think I might get it faster if I fixed up my glide first. I'm 5"6 and I'm all leg; I can't seem to get nice swing AND hold my legs in a tight straddle at the same time. Sometimes jumping from a springboard helps but my coaches don't like me using it; they...

Well I was finally able to get a pair. I almost had to as I train quite a bit harder now and do a lot of tumbling and I just can't do it with my wrists being so bad. Anyways to anyone who had them a couple questions. do you use the plastic inserts or not? Or do you kind of break them in first...

Well, today at practice, i was doing series on beam (hand hand) and my hands like crossed on the beam and my wrist got bent kinda backwards and a little sideways. Well ithurt like really bad and so i iced it for like an hour and luckily one of my teammates mom is a nurse and she looked at it...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum :] I'm having some problems with my wrist. When I practice doing handstands and cartwheels on my low beam at home, I sometimes over bend my hands onto the beam by just a LITTLE bit and it kills. My wrists pop and crackle a lot when I try to roll them and stuff, but...

my right wrist has been in a lot of pain lately and so ive been looking at wrist supports. i saw that the popular ones are golden hands and tiger paws. the thing is that online im only finding that they are coming in pairs but i just want the right one. so does anyone know where i can buy just...

Well as you know my DD has been out 6 weeks with an injury to the growth plates in both her wrists. No tears or stress fracture just inflamation. Yippe for that. She has been back for just a few practices but, she is very motivated to get the skills she feels like she is behind on. LOL She...

Hi Everyone! My wrists have been hurting me, so I now use wrist guards to tumble. However, I wondered how everyone stretches there wrists, or what is the correct way. I feel like my wrists hurt less when I don't stretch them, and as soon as I do stretch them (or at least the way my gym and I do)...

I sprained my wrist on my tumbling pass [double back handspring] 20 minutes into class yesterday. Basically i bailed out because i at least thought i was going to hit my coach or the wall. I landed hard on the back of my right wrist. Which is why my typing sucks. I really need it to heal by...

Basically i sprained my right wrist yesterday doing a double back handspring. :( I was doing my first bhs when i realized i was going to hit either my coach or the wall and i bailed out and landed on the back of my wrist and kind of rolled out. I'm right handed so my typing is not going to be...

So DD had and MRI of both wrists yesterday as some of you know she has had bilateral wrist pain for about 6 weeks now. The answer is this no stress fractures Yippee!!!! However she has mild to moderate inflamation of the growth plates on both wrists.....UGH The nickname for this is gymnasts...

I'm a rhythmic coach and I have one level 5 gymnast who is complaining about sore wrists. She is 14 and has a larger body type. She has been really working on her bwo. Her wrists always hurt a little in bridges, but now with the added bwo practice they are really bothering her. We are working on...

Ok after 3 weeks of indecision DD finally went with the Nastia Russian Heritage Grips. Several of the older girls got them and love them and the coach really likes them. So DD decided now that she can have buckle ones she would follow the pack and go with them too. My Question is the Wrist...
