Grip Strong: Hand and Wrist Injury Solutions for BJJ Enthusiasts
In the realm of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), where precision meets power, the hands and wrists stand as unsung heroes. These dexterous joints bear the brunt of the force and finesse, often falling victim to the rigours of the sport. At Mixed Osteo, we empathise with the distinctive challenges BJJ enthusiasts face and offer a comprehensive strategy to vanquish these injuries, ensuring that you can maintain a rock-solid grasp on your love for the sport.
Frequent Hand and Wrist Injuries in BJJ
Wrist Strains:
Swift moves in BJJ frequently lead to wrist strains, particularly when palms connect with the mat to break falls or when opponents fall uncontrolled onto an unsuspecting hand.
Carpal Tunnel Struggles:
The recurrent gripping and twisting maneuvers inherent to BJJ can contribute to the emergence of carpal tunnel problems, resulting in discomfort, tingling, and numbness in the fingers and palm.
Finger Sprains, Dislocations and Fractures:
The intense tussles of grappling can lead to sprains, dislocations or fractured fingers in extreme cases, particularly during fierce grip contests.
Tendonitis Troubles:
The recurring grappling and pulling actions may incite tendon inflammation in the hands, culminating in conditions such as De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
