Wrist pain can be so painful it prevents athletes from putting weight through their upper body and even hanging activities, limiting activities like pushups, handstands, tumbling, pull-ups, chin-ups, and swing events.  It can become very frustrating to train around or with wrist pain.

Strength and flexibility in the wrist is often overlooked when it comes to training gymnast, cheerleaders, dancers, Acro, and circus athletes. One of the most common complaints is wrist pain in these sports especially in gymnastics and cheer, so common that athletes believe it’s normal or coaches and even pediatricians will say “they’ll grow out of it, here’s a wrist brace”.... ❌❌❌🛑

Wrist in gymnastics, cheer, Acro and circus sports are used like feet in runners and like monkeys hanging from trees. They must be prepared with appropriate flexibility, strength, neuromuscular control, and loading mechanic training to sustain high loads required from 5x the body weight on pommels and back handsprings to 10-17x the body weight with running tumbling, not to mention the distraction loads with hanging and the addition of forces with swinging up to 10x the body weight.

• Wrist stretching techniques to improve your flexibility
• Weighted dynamic exercises to improve the proprioception of the wrist and hand for weight-bearing and control
• Strength exercise to improve the strength and control of the wrist
