Tiger Paws

Every gymnast that has been in the game long enough knows that injuries are a part of the sport. In fact, most gymnasts have probably experienced more than one in different areas of their body. For me, it was always my knees that gave me problems. To this day, they crack all the time and cause me pain periodically. In addition to my knee pain, my wrists often acted up as well. The older we got, the more tiger paws started showing up on my teammates hands. Whether you have wrist problems in the past or not, tiger paws are great for vault, floor, and beam because it lessens the strain on the muscles. Stretching your wrists before practice is so important because if you think about it, they take a lot of the blow in the sport of gymnastics. Almost every skill requires your wrists to hold weight. With tiger paws, the risk of injury lowers. Also, I find my gymnasts more confident when they are wearing the tiger paws because they know their wrists are supported. These wrist supports come in fun colors and designs that help my girls tell them apart. The can be worn in completion as well. Your gymnast should be properly fitted for these guards and it should be made sure that they are not too tight and or to lose. I strongly recommend these guards because you cannot predict future injuries you can only plan for them.
