wrist

DD has had very painful wrists the past two workouts. Strangely enough, it hurt MORE after a few days off. Last week before thanksgiving, she said her wrists were totally fine after working out for 3 days.....She says the tiger paws don't help either, but this may be because she is not used to...

I'm not a coach but am interested in how many coaches have their girls practice with wrist or ankle weights and why/why not. I'm not talking about anything very heavy, maybe 1 lb weights on each wrist or ankle. Especially on bars and floor. I love DD's coach and she uses these sometimes and it...

My 14 year old L7/training 8 needs wrist supports for pommel - everything hurts most of the time, but the pommel/wrist thing is getting to him. His tiger paws help with floor and vault, so now he wants the pommel ones. There is only one kid ahead of him level wise, and coach is young, so I...

I can do an okay free hip, but after the free hip, I can't flip my wrists for the kip. Has anyone else had this problem, and if you did, how did you fix it?

Older DD who is a Level 8 started using Tiger Paws at Level 4 and pretty much always wore them. Of course, if she tumbles at home she doesn't wear them, but at the gym, as soon as they started Round Off Back Handspring Back Tucks on floor and Back Handsprings on beam, all of the girls on her...

DD has been complaining lately of pain in both wrists, and I suspect that it's because of the extra work she has been doing on vault lately, specifically on Yurchenkos. I know that some of the other girls at the gym have wrist support things they wear for vault, and I guess I need to look into...

Ok...wrist rips. How to treat and or prevent them.

Dd is 8 training level 5. She has so much wrist pain with tumbling and handstands. She wears tiger paws but says they really hurt. Last time I took her to ortho, they did bone scans of her wrists and found nothing. He just said to rest them. She did rest them for 4 months because she was in a...

When I hit the top of my giant, my wrists and hands are still underneath the bar. What can I do to fix it? Could this be a reason why I have trouble hitting handstand?

My gymmie is so close to getting her kip! However she isn't getting her wrists flipped over the bar. So when her upper body starts coming over the bar, she ends up pushing against the bar instead of pulling her self on top. I can not figure out how to get the video posted here. Is there any...

I have a question about chronic wrist injuries in former gymnasts/ social gymnasts (made that one up, I'm not competitive and just do self training along side my coaching!). So, I developed a wrist injury back when I was competing which eventually caused me to stop gymnastics (partially along...

I have an 11 year old who is a level 9 USAG gymnast. She had been having wrist pain and we got some disturbing news yesterday . There is mild damage to her growth plates in both wrist and the dr wants to X-ray them every 6 months and if they get worse she has to stop the sport . This kid lives...

My daughter is 11 level 9 and she has been complaining about wrist pain in both wrist but the right one is significantly worse . She said certain skills hurt worse such as the urchenko vault and shifting on bars . I'm thinking maybe she is growing ?? She's just getting back from an ankle injury...

One of DS's optional teammates' moms suggested to me that I get DS a set of wrist guards soon to prevent injuries, as the boys' hours will be going up and they are now doing a lot more work on the floor horse (and will probably be transitioning their loops and circles to the pommel-less horse...

I was sitting at 6 yo DD practice tonight and watched her as she practiced her standing BHS... She started grabbing her wrist after the second or third one. I finally grabbed a coach's attention and they intervened and had her stop doing skills which put significant pressure on the wrist. DD has...

Wrist supports have been suggested for my tiny 7-year-old. The size charts make Golden Hands and Tiger Paws look awfully big. Will either of these brands fit little tiny kids? I would rather not go the tape route if we can avoid it, since I don't know the proper way to do it and would like my...

I got new grips and changed brands as well as went from velcro (reisport) to double buckle (US Glove) The new grips fit well but I'm having a really hard time using them as they hurt my wrists so bad!! I do have the double long wrist bands and the grips feel fine when I'm just standing with...

Does anyone have tips for the wrist shift when coming back up from the mill circle? No matter what I tell myself..it's like my hand won't move!!

Hi my name is Sabrina! I'm 16 and have been doing gymnastics for 14 years now. I was recently diagnosed with ulnar impaction syndrome and I'm having surgery in early April, the doctors have never done this surgery on a gymnast and am not confident I will be able to return for my senior year...

Is there a brand of wrist support names "Wristies"? I've heard the term used in a general way to cover all wrist support braces. My daughter has used Tiger Paw brand in the past. She was given a pair of what she says is "Wristies" brand at her gym awhile ago and she likes these better than Tiger...
