Wrist wrapping: why don’t we do it?
-
sorry, didn’t finish. I work with many great male physicians and a few sexist ones. the good are more than the negative. but over the years, I am surprised that this still exists.

Well I did HS Cheer and we always wrapped our wrist and ankles for the extra support especially if we had LONG practice days, so I do some times when I pole. But ONLY if I’m going to be practicing for a long time. sometimes your wrist get tired and you need extra support. If I’m just trying something real quick then I don’t bother. Also how you wrap can aid in not hurting your wrist, buy over bending it or tweaking it.
lilredrobinhood, I’m sorry you have those sorts of people around you. That’s just janky. I have never had that experience in my life… so far there is always a first time. Actually I just went to a doctor because my right shoulder was starting to feel like it was grinding or something like that. It hurt to do push ups and certain moves. I had a male doctor and told him what I did and he was pleasantly surprised and was asking all sort of questions about the training and the strength and so forth. After he evaluated my shoulder he said basically I over used that side of my body (naturally, its my dominate side) and he said it was time to rest that side and start building up my weaker side. He gave me stretches and stuff to do for the side that hurt, but all in all there wasn’t much to do to it other than stretch and rest it.

Haloanne!!! that lump on your wrist is called a gangelion!! (such a good name haha) I have them too !! it feels like bone but actually is a fatty /fluid lump. one trick to get rid of them (recommended by my nurse mom!!) – hit it really hard with a hardback book and it should disperse… !!

I use wrist supports pretty frequently. I have a double whammy of tendinitis and loose-ish joints. The wraps help support and maintain positioning.

Anyone have any suggestions on which wrist wraps they like best?
