Elastic Wrist Support

I was looking for a good wrist band for a firm support. I recently started playing tennis and started feeling pain in my wrist as well as fingers after playing for an hour or two. This wrist band does it's job so well that you can feel the firmness and support while playing or performing any other activity. I ordered a small size (as my wrist is small) and it fits firmly on my hand even without strapping the band. Though the strapping band will give you more support and firmness as required. Also it cured my wrist pain quickly as it support the wrist firmly, so though you perform any activities with the same hand the pressure is reduced on your wrist. Pros: -- Strong and firm support. 100% recommended. 5 stars, no doubt -- Good for wrist pain -- Good for sports where you have to use your wrist a lot (specially racquet sports). -- Quality material. May last long, looks durable. -- Fairly priced and does it's job well. I haven't seen this brand in any store which is really sad as consumers may benefit with such a good product. I am using it always while playing tennis and it has played a part in improving my game and make me last long on the court without any worry. As its job is to firmly support your wrist you may feel it is bit tight. But still is fairly comfortable to wear it for several hours. I don't think this is a point to snatch a star because we need that firmness to perform day to day activities while it is on our wrist. Next I am going to try it while Bowling and am pretty sure it will give me the firmness and support that I need. Cheers... Update May 24th 2012 2:00 PM EST: I ordered small but they shipped me Medium and it fits well. I have a small wrist, so my suggestion would be to order medium because small would be actually for tiny wrists. Though it's a wonderful product.

Very good fit and good support after broken wrist

Overall this brace is excellent, and makes my wrist feel strong. It has helped me both at my desk using a trackball and at work using kitchen knives and general tasks. Here is my summary, good and bad: Good: very easy to put on since it is just an elasticized tube that easily slips over your hand onto the wrist area. I tried a competitor where the brace is a long strip and you have to try to wrap the strip around your wrist. That was nearly impossible to do since you have to do it with only one hand and matching the ends plus trying to stretch it was crazily frustrating so I returned that one. On this the tube is easy to slip on and the fabric is very comfortable against my skin. Once it is on the wrist all you need to do is adjust the velcro strap as snug as you want for the support level that is most comfortable. The velcro is super strong so once set this brace is going to stay put. Bad: As mentioned the velcro is super strong but that is also a bit of a drawback because it is really difficult to get it loose again for removal. It is impossible to get it loose if you start at the end because there is not a tab to grab, you just have to try to peel it back but there is nothing to grab onto. I saw other reviewers who mention this also and the best technique is to slip your finger in where the velcro strap goes through the plastic loop and leaves a bit of a gap you can wiggle your finger into. Then start working it loose back up to the end. Even that is not easy but it works. Overall 4 stars because the brace works very well and is comfortable and easy to install. 5 stars for that but I'm docking a star overall because of the difficulty in loosening the velcro once it is attached McDavid, if you read reviews I would suggest making the velcro a little less grippy and/or incorporating a tab at the end you can actually hold on to in order to strip the velcro back.

Well made with great fit and support, immediate help for a slight wrist issue from golf. Small and easy to store in the golf bag.

This past year I started to get wrist pains after having played tennis for 10 pain-free years (minus a few sore shoulders). At first I ignored it and chalked it up to over use. After a few weeks of rest I saw no improvement and shut down tennis for a few months time. I purchased a small wrist cast for use when at home, etc to not overuse my ailing wrist daily. After finally giving in and seeing a doctor, they saw it for what it is.. a mild case of tendinitis. They recommended a brace and rest (tried both). After a while of sitting out, I recognized that not playing tennis anymore was not a viable option. I looked into products for use while playing and came across this product which had great reviews. I purchased it and immediately got back out on the court. I could still feel a little pull on the wrist, but 95% of the shots felt right -- so I continued use. My wrist has started to feel much better, but I'll continue to use this product for the foreseeable future until I'm confident everything is back to normal. I've already purchased 2 of these, since I have a talent for leaving them on chairs and benches after matches.

Afin d'éviter des douleurs au poignet , j'utilise ces bracelets pour tous travaux de bricolage , jardinage , sport........ enfin à chaque fois que les poignets peuvent être sollicités

Fast schon die beste handgelenksunterstützung die ich ausprobiert habe. Wir betreiben exzessiven sportakrobatik und die handgelenksbeschwerden sind auf ein minimum reduziert. 10/10 würde sofort wieder kaufen

Not at all good.

Ich benutze diese Bandage schon seit Jahren und immer noch erfüllt sie ihren Zweck. Gutes Produkt.

I had a ganglion cyst develop in my right wrist from over stressing it. It became painful to work out to the point where I couldn't flex my wrist and would have to do push ups on my knuckles. I continued my work out routine with this product and it significantly stabilized my wrist, helping to prevent excess stress on the joint. Not sure if fixed the issue, but the cyst disappeared completely within a month without changing my exercise routing and hasn't come back (about 7 months now). May not have been the cure, but definitely reduced the pain when I worked out. The strap does fit tight, but that's the point. If it's loose than it won't do any good. At first it feels like circulation is being slightly cut off but it will loosen over time to be more comfortable. I went with the sizing guide on McDavid's website and my wrist was right at the max for the small/medium size. I went with their suggestion and got the small/medium anyways and it's been perfect. Remember, if it's too big it might be a bit more comfortable at first, but it won't be working!
