Hey I know there are a lot of post about wrist pains but I wanted to check a few things. I have been practicing parkour and other similar things for 4-5 months and I live in Maryland. I don't have access to a gym to practice like I would like to, but I make do with what I can. I have recently started to work on combos that are more related to gymnastics such as a round off into a back handspring. The problem is my wrist can only handle doing this a few times before they start to hurt like mad and I have to stop. Especially my left wrist right around the thumb (the radial bone?). Is there a good way to either strengthen or support my wrist? I've seen some people put tape around their wrist or wristband type things...is that a good method? Does it work? Are there any good websites that can help me here? Am I alone here or is everyone just more experienced than I am?

Oh and I practice on grass but I don't know how much of a difference that makes and I don't have too much of a choice in that matter.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Actually it really is only when I do those kind of things. It is usually pretty good while doing vaults too... Could it just be  I am trying to ask too much of it too soon or something? I know that sounds weird, But I want to be able to do these for more than just like 5 times before it starts to hurt.

there ya go, steve's got the answers. i think rest will do the body good but youll lose valuable training time

Hi fellow Traceur.I exprienced that pain before and i know what do heal it.Just let ur hand for couple of days(for me 2 days).Stop doing stretches and back hand springs,Anything that will strain ur wrist.Ok?Try wearing a wrist band or use some bandage to support it.Then after u feel alot better=try bending ur wrist and feel if the pain is still there.Even if there is a little pain,ur wrist is healed already.The pain is cause by the stiffness of the new tissue.Ok.Now u can stretch it and hold it there for 30 seconds.you will feel alot better the next couple of days and weak.If u have any doubts just say. ;)Peace.I'm Out
