wrist

Hello everyone! I'm not quite sure if I have this in the right category, but I am a gymnast. The other week I was doing back handsprings on beam, and my wrist started to hurt. This actually happens a lot on beam for me so I just Iced and stretched and continued on. Well, fast forward to the next...

My daughter is having wrist pain with extension of wrist with weight bearing. Went to doctors growth plate fine but wrists very lax, a lot of movement. So he suggested tiger paws, whose head coach not believer in. Anyone have experience with this?

While healing a sprained ankle, DD is getting extra time on the strap bar working her giants. Unfortunately the straps are starting to dig in. She wears wristbands, but she's still getting cuts along the side of the palm Would tape help this? She says no, but she's known to not want to do...

I voiced my worry that my injury is more severe than the doctor said to my mom and we are going to another doctor next week. After splinting it with minimal use for about a week, I am starting to go without the splint and stretching my hand a little. It seems to be a little more flexible but I'm...

My DD has had a bunch of wrist issues over the last few months. They are likely acute injuries and not overuse issues. She missed a lot of last season with a TFCC injury, recovered fully and then hurt both wrists again with a bad landing. She has rested for a month, X-ray is clear, but she...

So I could probably make my first thread in the introductions but i've been waiting to ask this for months. So I've been struggling to get a straddle press ( stadler press whatever you call it) on and off since I was 8 years old...10 years later, I finally made one. I had been practicing out of...

One of the things that baffles my mind, along with the horrible NBC coverage, is gymnastics coaches who teach severely flexed wrists as dance. It's not. I know, I know you can dig up videos of one or two jazz choreographers who did it a lot, and it's done here and there in some other dances...

Yesterday I sprained my wrist doing a roundoff bhs bhs. I'm crushed. I think something has been up with it for a while, honestly. Nothing was terribly wrong with my bhs, I think it was just slow enough that my wrist gave out. I am in a splint, and my doctor/coaches/mom have a lot of hope and...

DS is 9 and a level 6. Last night he left the gym complaining about his wrists. His words were "I think I need Tiger Paws." I asked when it hurt and he said floor. They are working hard on floor basics, LOTS of BHS and handstands. He is also doing 100's of circles and an lot more PBar work...

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...

Question for you all: How many of your gymnasts complain about pain in the wrist? Does she just push through it and it goes away, or does she take a break, and for how long? Does the pain come and go or does it progress until she takes a significant break. I heard that gymnast wrist affects a...

So, I know this has been discussed before, but I hate searching on my phone so hopefully people will chime in ;) D has been taping his wrist for pommel. He wants some kind of wrap. NOt sure if he needs one that comes up on the hand at all. Recommendations? Coach mentioned skidz but those...

My daughter injured her wrist 6 weeks ago. They put her in a cast due to fears of growth plate injury. The cast came off last Thursday and my daughter isn't able to put weight on her wrist yet. We knew there would be recovery time but how long should we expect to wait to see her regain her...

Hey guys! Thanks for the info on golden hands, but now I have another question (sorry)!! I have heard you can only buy sand colored supports for meets, is this true? They are out of sand in my size, is it a deduction if i get a color that matches my team leo? Thanks!

My dd is having some minor wrist pain and after watching others go through growth plate fractures and inflammation in their wrists I would like to prevent my dd's pain from getting worse. Are there any exercises that can strengthen the wrist to prevent this type of injury?

Hey guys! My friend broke her wrist about last month and she got it off like a week ago. She is wondering why it's taking so long for her wrist to heal. Can anyone please state any exercises she can do to strengthen her wrist so she can get back in the gym. By the way, states are on March 29th...

One of my athletes was diagnosed with having swelling around the growth plates in her wrists, which I understand is the onset of Gymnast's wrist (Distal Radial Epiphysiolysis). Incidentally, she is the "handstand master" of the team, and is quite good at balancing stationary handstands because...

This question is for my daughter. She's 10 years old and her grips are bothering her. She has VERY very tiny wrists - as in, so tiny her 4 year old sisters wrists are bigger than hers. It's ridiculous. So she currently has US.Glove 10.0 grips or something like that. She sais the wrist part...

Hi all. I used to have a pair of EZ Pro wrist supports and loved them. They went MIA during my 12 year hiatus from gymnastics. Now I'm back and heavier than ever and in need of wrist supports again. It appears that the EZ Pro ones are no longer being made. I tried on a pair of Tiger Paws...

So I need advice on competitive athletes wearing wrist supports. I have seen that Cincinnati gymnastics has most of their gymnasts wearing them in all their youtube videos. I have several girls who have started to complain about wrists being sore. Is this a good practice to start having...
