"Thank you so much for the PSB wrist brace!

After fracturing my left wrist last year I was taping my wrist to play cricket every week. This became expensive and ultimately ineffective as the tape would become loose over time and hamper my ability to hold my bat correctly as I needed to tape across the palm of my hand.

I needed a wrist brace and the PSB wrist brace you supplied me is in a word, perfect. It gives me all the support I need without hampering my ability to hold the bat correctly and also catch a ball as the palm of my hand is free from support straps unlike other wrist braces available.

With the PSB wrist brace I am able to get on with playing my cricket and not have to worry about my wrist and for the first time in a long time my wrist does not hurt while I am playing.

If you need a quality brace to get you back playing, I would definitely recommend using a PSB sport brace."

Wrist Injury

The wrist is a complex joint consisting of the bones of the lower arm, 8 minuscule wrist or carpal bones, and a series of muscles and tendons that control the fingers.

Wrist injuries can be classified in two groups:

• An acute injury
  These injuries generally occur as a result of a fall or a collision with another player or an object. The injury is caused by the straining or twisting, the impact or the ‘bending double’ of the wrist. The most common symptoms are acutely occurring pain, swelling and reduced mobility the wrist. The pain is caused by the damage to the tissue around the wrist. Following the correct treatment, these problems generally disappear.
  
  
• An overuse injury
  These forms of injury are caused by the fact that the burden to which the wrist is exposed is greater than the level of load the wrist can cope with.
  As a consequence of this overburdening or overuse, tension and/or stretching the affected muscles around the wrist can cause pain symptoms.
  An overuse injury is characterised by various stages of pain. The pain may occur only following exertion, but there can also be situations of constant pain.

Wearing a PSB wrist brace can help to stabilise the wrist, enabling the damaged tissue to recover. The brace can also be worn outside sport, in the immediate aftermath of the injury.

"The brace worked well.  Got on the swing web and went and hit some balls at range. 40 points yesterday and 3rd in ANZAC tourney. I am a fan. Thanks again."
