Is this something that can be worn during yoga? I am experiencing sharp pain in my inner right wrist while in arm balances.

Hi Billy,I wear it for everything except playing tennis. I haven't tried pushups with it yet, but I have done light exercises with weights. This brace, according to the website, works best for OUTER wrist pain, not inner wrist pain. Check out their website; I know they encourage you to try several exercises to see if the brace will help. Good luck!Chris

Yes you can wear it all the time. Helps with the pain. I had therapy and they recommended it.

i am finding i am able to do most activities, BUT I'm NOT SURE about supporting your body weight on certain poses or positions during yoga while wearing the widget.i do find i am able to lift and carry objects, like cartons of milk and similar weight, or turn the car steering wheel, or open objects, much more comfortably while wearing it. widget.

I wear the brace while doing pushups and yoga without problems. Although I do have to mention that this brace will help pain on the outside or ulnar side of your wrist it most likely isn't going to help with pain on the inside or radial (thumb) side of the wrist.

I would recommend giving these a try. The pain you are experiencing could be due to the fact that while doing regular pushups, your palm is flat on the floor and the angle of your wrist is extreme. With these, your wrist stays parallel with your arm, so there's no bending, thus, no stress on the wrist.

It doesn't do much of anything. It's not really very powerful. But a more powerful magnetic bracelet does help with shoulder pain. You could wear a powerful magnetic necklace to help with upper body pain.

Not really as the primary function of this bracelet is a pedometer the only excersize it accurately monitors is walking or running. However you can easily manually enter excersize that is not recorded. So it is great to monitor casual activity and sleep cycles. So will it benefit you? Not for yoga. But in overall calorie and health? Absolutely, but only if you put in a little effort.

Yes you could. It doesn't impede use of your hand as there isn't much padding. It's comfortable to wear. But I don't know how long the material will hold up if you are using it with dumb bells, bench presses and the like. After 1 year mine has shown some wear with some stitching coming loose. But I have used it a lot. It is an awesome product. I have used it primarily for my wrist but have also wrapped it around my elbow to ice the elbow.

They make more feminine colored bands and even the black one isn't that obtrusive. If you don't want to wear anything on your wrist I would definitely look at the FitBit One where you can place it on undergarments under your clothes. Im pretty sure the flex has to be placed on your arm just because it is calibrated for arm movement only.

It's not a yoga towel. You could use it as a regular towel though. I would bring the hand towel to yoga just for sweat.

While I don't have this particular brace, I have many like it. My wrist hurts during swimming (and lots of other things) due to the water pressure against the hand - the stronger the stroke, the more it hurts. A brace helps that and I would expect this one to help as well. The only problem with wearing it in water is if it is in a chlorinated pool. If there is spandex or elastic, then the chlorine will break the elasticity down. It won't happen overnight, but the brace won't last as long. In my experience a lot of use in a pool cuts down the life of the brace by 1/2 to 2/3. But, this is one of the less expensive braces - so cost per use would be less.

I don't think you're supposed to wear it all day. I only wear it when I play golf or do something that I think will involve a lot of twisting and use of my wrist. I hope this helps.

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!

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

I don't know about balance - I practice Yoga and my balance has always been fairly good. The the Trion:Z wrist bracelet has definitely helped with fatigue. Hope this helps.

Padding inside the wrist works best for me! You can try both, but i think padding inside the wrist the way most people wear it

I would guess no. This brace is mostly anchoring straps. it slides on and you tighten a strap at heel of hand/wrist. Since you tighten it to fit your arm/level of support there should be no issue with circulation. Further, another strap anchors your thumb in place that you adjust yourself. Anytime I've felt uncomfortable I just loosen the straps and any discomfort goes away. I hope this helps.

I'm not the best person to answer this question because I don't use gloves when I practice yoga. However I'd hazard a guess and say no because it offers no protection for your palms.

For me, it gives support--without all the sweating that the other sleeves create. I play basketball with it-- I have arthritis, no longer have knee injury, so can't say that it would relieve pain from that. When I started wearing it, I was recovering from injury, and it seemed to help. I wear it now, for support. It is not a brace---

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.
