PR Wraps

I have something wrong with my left wrist which makes it hurt really bad doing mostly anything.  My coach is stumped because she has no idea what is causing my pain because it isn't hurting in a wrists usual spot. It hurts on my bone on the outside of my wrist, instead of the inner side of my wrist.  I never did anything to it for it to start hurting.  So I ordered a pair of PR Wraps and they are amazing! They are even better than Tiger Paws. For those who don't know what I am talking about, a Tiger Paw is something you put on your wrist for support if you have pains in your wrists.  And a PR Wrap is just a better version of a Tiger Paw.  Gymnasts use them for vault, beam, and floor.   I didn't think that a PR Wrap would even work because it is literally a piece of cloth that is about 2 feet long and you just wrap it around your wrist.  I can't explain how it works, but it does. A lot! PR Wraps are actually meant for athletes that do cross fit.  But gymnasts are starting to use them.  They aren't bulky like Tiger Paws and you still have full range of your wrist.  Sadly I used them on vault on Friday and they don't work as good as Tiger Paws.  But they do help me on beam and floor.
