Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been practicing yoga for 8 years, and recently started experiencing wrist pain from the intense extension of many yoga positions. A substitute teacher noticed my constant stopping to rotate an flex my wrist to ease the pain. She told me that she had had the same problem and, after being evaluated by two hand surgeons, had been told that small boned people are prone to these injuries and that they will likely not get better on their own. She recommended gripitz. I LOVE them. They have totally saved my practice. In addition to allowing me to keep my wrist in a neutral position, they provide a little extra room for jumping through and such....My wrist has almost healed, and I'm not sure whether I'll try yoga without gripitz or just consider them a permanent part of my practice...

Gripitz Blocks ,(2 in a package) allow the user to maintain a more neutral wrist position while performing exercises where your arms, wrist and hands bear weight; exercises like pushups, handstands and sun salutations in yoga. The neutral wrist decreases stress at the wrist joint and carpal tunnel, reducing tension on the median nerve. "As an orthopedic physical therapist for nearly 20 years and a student of yoga for 6, I can honestly say 'I love Gripitz'. They help my wrists stay safe and comfortable, and also double as a yoga block. I recommend them to my patients who cannot or should not perform a traditional chatarunga. They are a safe and smart yoga tool!" --Kathleen McDonough M.A.P.T. Clinical Exercise Specialist; Pilates Instructor Specialist "Gripitz allow the user to load the wrist in a more neutral position, reducing unwanted stress on the wrist joint, carpal tunnel, and surrounding ligaments" --Gretchen Nelson MSPT-Physical Therapist CYT-Yoga Instructor
