wrist bands
Some pros on TV where what appears to be a form of wrist band but is adjustable on there forearm.
Is this a preventative ref. to sore wrist ? |

Re: wrist bands
I've never noticed it, but it could be a couple of things. It could be just a wrist band to keep sweat from running down their arms and making their hands more slippery than they would be normally, or they could be a wrist brace for carpel tunnel syndrom, or something along those lines. If it looks hard, or stiff it's probably a brace.

Re: wrist bands
I've seen Larry Nixon wear one about mid-arm near his elbow..I've wondered about it also and the only thing I can figure it's for is a fishermans form of tennis elbow(pitching elbow?) or some kind of tendon or muscle problem. ??? ???

It also might be a Sea Band, which is used to counter sea sickness.

Re: wrist bands
i would say from wearing them myself they are for tennis elbow ans carpel tunnel both. any repeated motion like that soon wears thin on those joints.just my 2 cents worth.

Re: wrist bands
Thats right its for carpal tunnel in your wrists, even though its worn on the forearm. Somehow keeping those tendons, muscles tight in the forearm helps.

Re: wrist bands
Many golfers wear wristbands that are magnetic and are SUPPOSED to help arthiritis. I my opinion is they're a scam.

Re: wrist bands
Actually, carpal tunnel has nothing to do with arthritis. It's a pinched nerve.
