I get pain in my wrist while doing push ups. Does anyone know if this is effective in relieving that kind of wrist pain?

I would take a gamble on it and try it. I am AMAZED at this little gadget. I just bought two more , one for me to keep at the shop and one for my assistant. She is freaked out by how well it works for her too. I get pain in my fingers and numbness in my hand. It totally relieves it all. Try it!

Ruben, they certainly have the potential to reduce wrist pain -- in using these such bars, the weight will be on your forearms as opposed to your hands. Make sure, too, that your saddle is properly adjusted -- ideally, your bodyweight will be distributed between your hands/arms, your saddle, and your feet. If your saddle is too high (or is angled forward), it may be that too much of your bodyweight is pressing into your hands. If you are buying these solely because of wrist pain, they very well may help -- but I personally would first make sure that your saddle is adjusted correctly :)

This is a great mouse. But it mostly is aimed at alleviating wrist discomfort.if your shoulder is what is bothering you, I would recommend assessing your chair and desk set up.

Hi, no, Chalene does very minimal amount of push UPS about 3-8 per week so its not likely to put any undue pressure on your wrists. If you cant do push up at all, simply substitute for another exercise :)

Injuries are such a nuisance! Yes, these should take the strain off your hands and more to the wrist. I'd also suggest keeping your rotator cuff strong too to avoid a shoulder problem - Bulletproof Your Shoulder has some good ex's in it. Happy training!

wrist wraps are design to limit mobility to the wrist joint. These wraps are substantial and I wouldn't use them for push-ups (flat palm). Perhaps you should get a smaller pair (for sprained wrists, for instance).

Try it on both wrists and when using it place your arm over your chest, press the button and then stay as still as you can--this should do the trick

If you substitute something in the pull ups place you will still get one heck of a workout. And if you do push ups instead I feel you are basically muscles so not much of a impact on the results.

It's not completely safe, and if you are not it good shape or if you start getting tired within the workout, then you MUST be very careful and not go all the way till collapse as normal pushups, due to high risk of injury. And despite the fact you feel your core burning during the med ball pushups, you don't have the same feeling in your chest. This doesn't mean med ball pushups are not effective, but i believe they should be part of the overall chest workout and not all the excersises focus on balls. Just my opinion after doing 2 rounds of P90X2 and 3 rounds of P90X. Hope this helps.

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 does work well, but requires a fair amount of pressure. I think it would depend more on the strength of your grip, than your wrists. You might need to use both hands to squeeze a fresh clove of garlic. Does cutting the cloves in half help? (they needn't be completely peeled.)

I think it would feel odd and be difficult to achieve a full range of motion push up without the rotation. If you really prefer not to have rotation you can use free weights in place of the perfect pushup.

I have a lot of pain in my wrist and in my fingers and they help me a lot at home and also driving. I wear mine while driving cause it helps with the pain and I see no reason for not doing so. One person wrote about them being too small. Make sure you measure your hand for proper size. Mine fits well. Hope this helps. John.

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.

The brace itself doesn't make the pain when bumping your wrist alot less. There is still significant "electrocuting" pain radiating to my forearm but it is somewhat bearable when I am wearing this.

it does for a co worker of mine, its the only way he can do pushups. I like this because its portable, and your adjust in mid extension if you feel discomfort. But I would test out the wrist pain issue with a couple regular dumbbells at the gym first, that way you dont spend the money if you dont have to. But it does allow your wrists to stay straight during all movement. You could always wrap your wrists too like a boxer for added support during it.

Hi Carmen, I'm not a Dr but if you need to stretch and hold your fingers spread out this will help. They work as pictured. My fingers cramp and curl into my palm. After use my hand relaxed and fingers stay straight longer. It's not a instant fix. I am using mine when ever I'm sitting and find myself trying to stretch out my hand.. You know yourself, try this and see if you are feeling better. I did. This helps my pain. You're already interested, I'd say that you have answered your question. Good luck to you.
