Do these help with wrist/arm pain during/after a yoga practice? I have tendinitis from playing the violin.

I don't have tendinitis, but I do have arthritis in my hands. The YogaPaws help by stabilizing the wrist, and hands. I would ask your PT about the necessary exercises to strengthen, or stretch the muscles in your hand for the tendinitis. My experience with a bad knee is that when there is an injury other muscles can atrophy, or over strengthen, and then everything is out of alignment. So, both working your muscles without a brace on, and stabilizing with a brace are important. With my knee, I need a brace whenever I am doing yoga, at the same time I continue to stretch and challenge the muscles that are not working to support my over all knee functioning. The YogaPaws are great for that, as long as you find the right size and tightness (you can adjust this) so that it is acting as a grip and stabilizer, and not pinching, or interfering with mobility. I am not a PT, but this is my personal experience. They YogaPaws people are very good at helping you size the yoga paws, which always need to be on the tight size so you don't lose your grip during Yoga. One last thought, I would imagine that your hands are stretching different muscles depending on which is holding the violin and which is using the bow. Yoga is a great way to become really familiar with the muscles in your body, as it makes you so aware of how everything is working. This should help you figure out how best to work your muscles, and I would think that since yoga is not so much geared to the muscles in your hand a good PT could add real value for that. Yoga is amazing for everything, please don't give up!

YES! I suffer from arthritis like joint pains as an-after effect of the chikungunya virus (you can google that up, it's a mosquito transmitted disease) and I use the paws not just for yoga but for ordinary push-ups. The pain does not go away but the added stability from the paws helps me through it.

I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. I use mine for travel. That said it does provide a little extra cushioning, but not anymore than my Black Mat

I believe it would be great for your arthritis. I got it because I was diagnosed with tendinitis & golfers elbow. I have very tiny wrists. It works for me great! I use it 5 times a day. Cold first then I heat it up in water as the instructions say to. I do however use a paper towel for both as it does get cold/hot but when it wears off, I remove the paper towel. I love this product and highly recommend it.

I have large hands so I don't think the fit is an issue. I think the swelling, though, would make use of the Yoga Hands problematic. If you have RA and the swelling is in your knuckles, my opinion would be that this product isn't for you. If you have basal thumb arthritis, and the swelling is at the base of the thumb, that wouldn't interfere with the Yoga Hands.

@ Joann McNinch...honestly, I am going to say no. I think they might be to thin to give any type of relief to arthritis in the hands. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use these for those types of yoga poses. I use them for lunges during my crossfit workouts, but even in that setting they're a little constrictive. They do, however, really protect my knees.

They will help support your wrists and that should also alleviate some of the discomfort! Try also varying the position of your wrists ie: try leaning a tiny bit forward or backward

They do, but you may have to give the joints some down time. I wear them at night which give my start of the day a much less painful beginning. It warms the joints and makes them more flexible, and you could try wearing them while you knit. This is my second pair and I love them. Have already had joint replacement done on right thumb, so am doing everything I can to preserve function in left hand. Good luck!

Yes, absolutely. I started wearing them during yoga classes and they really took all of the pressure off of my wrists!

I had tendonitis instead, and yes instant relief as I was not able to place the hand over the mouse. Keep in consideration that this mouse will not work on all surfaces. Also, I noted a small pain on my shoulder as the movement is not the same

I sincerely feel these gloves will help you. The gloves havwe truly bween great for my sore hands and swelling. Hope this helps you.

I'm guessing it would! I was having pain in my wrist without using yoga paws, and do not have any pain now that I use them!

Using a pen is more comfortable than using a mouse. It causes less stress on fingers as well as wrists. I had tendinitis in my fingers that was aggravated by using a mouse or a trackball. The pen was a huge improvement. I've had lots less pain when I used it

yes I would recommend it for doing your yoga as I had hurt my wrist while doing palms flat on ground during yoga. Be careful as you want to avoid getting a TFCC tear/Ulnar sided wrist pain.

Try it. It can't hurt. I use it when my wrist is bothering me when I play tennis.

Hi Carmen, I'm not a Dr but if you need to stretch and hold your fingers spread out this will help. They work as pictured. My fingers cramp and curl into my palm. After use my hand relaxed and fingers stay straight longer. It's not a instant fix. I am using mine when ever I'm sitting and find myself trying to stretch out my hand.. You know yourself, try this and see if you are feeling better. I did. This helps my pain. You're already interested, I'd say that you have answered your question. Good luck to you.

They will bend with the wrist. I use them for bench press and my wrists still bend back but the wraps add stability and take some of the strain off. I hope this was helpful.
