Wrist support to strengthen & relieve sore wrists

If you research this question you will find a ton of different answers. Here is a sensible, scientific, explanation:

"A neuro surgeon explained how it wasn't lifting weights that aggravated my wrists and elbows but rather the roughness of textures on things being grasped and squeezed, like the knurled surfaces on weight lifting equipment.

He realized that many people who experience wrist pain, sore hands or sore elbows might find enormous relief from the realization that it is the nerve bundles in our fingers and hands that transmit inflammation which is often treated as signs of tendonitis, arthritic hands, wrist strain, carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow. This not only applies to weight lifting but ANY repetitive task that potentially can irritate the nerve interface in our hands which then affects our wrists.

After using NewGrip wrist support the pain subsided in less than a week!"

—Prof. Philip Daughtry,
Santa Monica College

When you think about it.. that is THE truth.

The median nerve runs from your neck down your bicep, around your elbow, down your forearm and through your carpal tunnel (wrist).. at which point it branches out, along with several tendons, like a tree sending down roots.

These roots supply nerve bundles to your finger tips.

This explains why so many computer users and grocery clerks get so called 'carpal tunnel syndrome'.

What really happens is that the sensitive nerve endings in your fingers get damaged from over use and become inflamed.

Pain can be a sign of inflammation.

If the fingers and hands are not allowed to recuperate and cool down, the inflammation will affect the median nerve at its weakest point... wrist, forearm, elbow, bicep.

When this occurs it can be called 'wrist pain', 'sore wrists', 'wrist tendinitis', 'arthritic wrists', or 'carpal tunnel syndrome'... but each having the same root cause!

This is why it is vital to wear effective wrist support, even as prevention!


XXXTypical store bought wrist supports are either polyester or a 50-50 blend which causes perspiration and even itchiness. Not good. NewGrip wrist support straps are 100% cotton.

Cotton breaths and repeals perspiration.

NewGrip wrist support wraps stimulate the supply of warmth to the sore wrist. This improves the natural response of the body to increased temperature and causes it to enter a condition called homeostasis: whereby the body tries to lower the temperature to the area. In so doing it expands blood vessels with increased blood flow.

This adds heat to your sore wrists, causing blood vessels to increase in size, supplies nutrients and oxygen to your wrists and reduces inflammation. The added heat relaxes muscles and tendons which relieves pressure off the median nerve.

By applying as much tension as is comfortable to NewGrip wrist support, and by wearing them as often as possible, you will quickly experinece pain relief.

Wearing them as tight as possible helps keep the tendons, running through your wrist from bulging and keeps inflammation down.

"I do not have any tendon pain in my wrists since a couple of months after using your wrist support. It is likely that being able to apply appropriate pressure to my wrist has reduced the stress to my wrist tendons, and eliminated the problem."

-Dale Elston, Texas

"The good news is, my hand and arm are feeling much better...your wrist support straps for musicians got me through a few gigs when I was really hurting...I am very grateful to you for that...they are especially helpful when drumming with the Spin Doctors"
