Do these help with wrist/arm pain during/after a yoga practice? I have tendinitis from playing the violin.

I don't have tendinitis, but I do have arthritis in my hands. The YogaPaws help by stabilizing the wrist, and hands. I would ask your PT about the necessary exercises to strengthen, or stretch the muscles in your hand for the tendinitis. My experience with a bad knee is that when there is an injury other muscles can atrophy, or over strengthen, and then everything is out of alignment. So, both working your muscles without a brace on, and stabilizing with a brace are important. With my knee, I need a brace whenever I am doing yoga, at the same time I continue to stretch and challenge the muscles that are not working to support my over all knee functioning. The YogaPaws are great for that, as long as you find the right size and tightness (you can adjust this) so that it is acting as a grip and stabilizer, and not pinching, or interfering with mobility. I am not a PT, but this is my personal experience. They YogaPaws people are very good at helping you size the yoga paws, which always need to be on the tight size so you don't lose your grip during Yoga. One last thought, I would imagine that your hands are stretching different muscles depending on which is holding the violin and which is using the bow. Yoga is a great way to become really familiar with the muscles in your body, as it makes you so aware of how everything is working. This should help you figure out how best to work your muscles, and I would think that since yoga is not so much geared to the muscles in your hand a good PT could add real value for that. Yoga is amazing for everything, please don't give up!

YES! I suffer from arthritis like joint pains as an-after effect of the chikungunya virus (you can google that up, it's a mosquito transmitted disease) and I use the paws not just for yoga but for ordinary push-ups. The pain does not go away but the added stability from the paws helps me through it.

I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. I use mine for travel. That said it does provide a little extra cushioning, but not anymore than my Black Mat

I don't have wrist problems so I can't say, I can say though that the band did help with the outer bone on my elbow pain, I am having a few problems with it though, one is, if I wear it for any length of time I get a rash from the upper pad & the velcro tends to dig into my arm & actually caused a cut/sore, i tried putting a piece of a cut sock under it to help with both, but that only causes it to not stay in place for more than a couple of hours, with it being winter & extremely cold here in New England I'm wearing lots of long sleeves so it's not easy to get it back to where it should be without just giving up & taking it off for the rest of my work day.

If you have a wrist injury I would not recommend using this until it's healed. I'm a tennis player and had a RSI injury and this only aggravated it.

It compresses the ligament and tendon which causes the pain of tennis elbow and golfers elbow and other repetitive strain injury chronic pain issues of the wrist and arm, specifically of the radial and ulna nerve. My doctor suggested it and it helps tremendously.

the hand paws are helpful for reducing stress and strain on the hands from some of the yoga poses like downward dog. There is some limited mobility with the paws - in that it's hard to grip items when the paws are on because of the padding on the palm side of the yoga paw. I have arthritis and it has helped reduce stress on those fingers when I'm in a pose but other than that, I'm not sure this product would do what you need. If you take Yoga; I strongly recommend them.

Hi, happy to answer your question. I purchased them for post carpal tunnel release surgery--as well as for my husband's bad knees--and they get VERY cold, so you should apply a dry washcloth or kitchen towel underneath the ice pack. They are not single use--may be used repeatedly. They are sturdy & do the job nicely; however, the only complaint I have is that they are quite bulky. I was seeking those which physical therapists utilize--the gel type--but I cannot find these kind online. Overall, I would suggest purchasing them, as they are definitely worth the money! Hope this helps you. God bless. Be well. --Jill Hi, happy to answer your question.

They can hurt but since I'm not doctor I can't say for sure that they will help. Try them and see for yourself if they help. They are good for carpal tunnel.

I had tendonitis instead, and yes instant relief as I was not able to place the hand over the mouse. Keep in consideration that this mouse will not work on all surfaces. Also, I noted a small pain on my shoulder as the movement is not the same

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you are working out with intensity, your knuckles will be sore. Wraps also protect your wrists while punching, so I highly recommend them.

Try it. It can't hurt. I use it when my wrist is bothering me when I play tennis.

It may help. It's slight pressure, not firm, so you may find sleeves with more compression to be of greater help. I have a similar forearm issue and alternate between this sleeve to wear on "good" days and a thicker, tighter one when my arm is hurting.

it is better to type without resting your palms anyway. My wife plays the hardest piano pieces ever written and understands very well what gives tendinitis and carpool tunnel. She says your knuckles shouldn't be down, your fingers should stay in a curve while you are typing, and your wrists should also be part of that curve. When you rest your palms, your wrists curve the opposite way. She says you're not supposed to type like that.

They will bend with the wrist. I use them for bench press and my wrists still bend back but the wraps add stability and take some of the strain off. I hope this was helpful.

They fit most hand sizes but don't bother they are pretty much worthless for thump pain/stabilization. Go with a splint that is Velcroed around your thumb and wrist area. I got mine at hand doctor but you can find them on the net.

I would say it helps more then relieve pain. They will help prevent pain when you start using them when you are not feeling pain in fingers.

Good for you for asking. Yes YogaHands come as a pair. I get great relief on my hand that has spasms.

If you have tendonitis in your elbow, it takes the pain away. From what I have heard, it stabilizes the tendon on both sides of your elbow. I was in constant discomfort and I as soon as I put it on it I was able to workout again. I wore it for several months, and the pain went away. I don't have to use it very much anymore.
