Rugby Advice

Hi Guys,

Just looking for a bit of advice. i find after training and match's the inside of my wrists are always in pain. it feels like a shock but lasts for about 12 hours. has anyone else come across this and is there any way to help prevent it .

I used to have the same problem when I was younger. I used to try and put too much spin on my passes to help them go further and be more accurate. It was much worse in the winter as well. After a small adjustment to my passing style (slightly less tense in my arms and the grip of the ball) the problem went.

I am not sure if this is the case for you but if it is, practice passing with a football, weird as it sounds, it worked for me.

thanks Nacho, i think my issue is more with tackling and the impact on my arms. probably need to adjust my tackle technique and use shoulders more.

That doesn't sound too great. If MrsP is still on here, then send her a PM and she could tell you more about what you have damaged or are damaging.
