okay, I've had bad wrists for a while, and I've learned that trying to doing dive rolls, climb-ups, and shimmys makes them scream in pain. I'm not sure if it's tendonitis or carpultunel (car-PULL-tun-null) (sp). But I know my wrist is not 100%. I usually stretch it on a daily basis, regardless of jamming or not. Any ideas?

P.S. I'm also a server. >.<

See a doc.

Probably repetitive motions + overuse.

Doubtful it's tendonitis or carpal tunnel, eh.

i was on a longboarding forum and saw this for an advertisement. i doubt its what you would be looking for but here it is anyway: http://www.snowboardsecrets.com/flexmeter.htm

supposibly they act as a brace. allowing you to bend your wrists and what not but also helping them.

i had some wrist issues for about 9 months that i'm just barely now escaping, so make sure that once you figure out what is the issue (according to a physical therapist, doctor, or yourself) then rest. Give them a little while, and don't put large amounts of force on them: that means don't do high impact vaults (ideally don't do them at all; just work on things like balance and jumping more) and be wary of how intensely and how long you are gripping something-this aggravated my issues several times over those 9 months.

after a little rest and maybe some contrast baths before going to bed (run under ice cold water for 30 sec or so, then very hot, repeat a few times while ending on hot) begin some kind of wrist exercises. Do what doesn't replicate the movements that hurt: if it hurts to hold a pushup position or put compressive forces (like vaults) on your wrists, then don't do wrist flexion or extension. You might want to try gripping and rubber band extensions. If gripping hurts, start out with very light, doesn't-even-feel-like-you're-training grip work, maybe wrist curls if it feels ok, as well as rubber band extensions (i mention these because they were the money exercise that got me back on track).

hope something in there helped you out a bit.

As I said in another thread...

1. You're in early teens/20s. You shouldn't need braces.

2. Braces don't fix a problem; just mask it.

3. They cost money which you don't need to spend.

Most of the chronic injuries in Parkour are from overuse. So when in doubt STOP activity and see if it heals. Otherwise, see a doctor.
