Video: How to Put On Wrist Support  How to Put on NewGrip Wrist Support Wraps Roy Scott shows off our wrist support...  "I have suffered with very painful inflamed "guitar elbow" joints (both elbows), requiring lots of physiotherapy and a long rest from playing. At the same time a drummer friend explained that he had been suffering exactly the same sore elbow and wrist condition, had purchased your wrist straps and had found them beneficial. It made sense to try them. I would not now play guitar without wearing your wrist straps and strongly believe that the extra support they offer has helped to keep my strain injuries at bay. Highly recommended!" - Roy Scott, U.K.
PROFESSIONAL DRUMMER Aaron Comess:
"The good news is my hand and arm are feeling much better...your wrist straps got me through some gigs when I my wrists were really hurting...I am very grateful to you for that. They are especially helpful when drumming with the Spin Doctors since I play quite a bit louder with them....thanks again..."Home Page of
Aaron Comess: drummer, producer, session player SORE WRIST PAIN: "
I've been playing drums for almost 10 years and I play hard and fast. I damaged both my wrists pretty badly. I couldn't play for a year and once they felt good enough to play they'd just hurt again right after practice. With your straps I have virtually no pain and actually a lot more strength on my snare.. it's quite amazing. If you ever need to convince someone that these work, send em my way. " >- Derek Gierhan, Maine BAND: "Subtle Star"  "Your wrist straps are awesome! I can't tell you what a relief it is to know my hands aren't going to lock up or go numb mid-show anymore." - Cully Johnston www.GrinnerTheBand.net "I play large drums, loudly. These drums HIT BACK, and after 40 years, my wrists are angry. NewGrip wrist supports give me pain free playing. I NEVER play without them!"  "I've been wearing your wrist straps for about 1 month now, and my left wrist is problem free for the first time in 2 years! You've got a product that's not hype and does what it says!" Rick Davonport, Vocals / Guitar for Seered  "I play guitar, acoustic, classical and electric, and go 5x a week to the gym and have developed the devastating consequences of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which has thrown my routine out of kilter. But since using your wrist grips, the support they provide does away with the wrist pain and allows me total confidence to play without losing feeling in my hands. In all seriousness, if it wasn't for your straps I'm not sure if I would have a career. :-)" - Walid Farruque, Berlin, Ocean 
"Your wrist straps have proven to be a godsend. They enable me to play with much more comfort than I ever thought possible. The straps are a real relief tool. I owe ya. It almost seems that the tighter you pull them the better they work. This is the first weekend in a long time that I
haven't felt pain and that is a big accomplishment."— Steve

Ysrafel, Professional Guitarist, Musician, Composer <<< VIBRATION >>>... IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF SORE WRISTS... The reason wrists get sore from playing is not just from over use. The root cause are the vibrations that travel up the nerve endings of your fingers and literally cause the nerves and tendons in your wrists and forearm to 'zing' and stretch out of shape. Constant vibration causes inflammation and ache. NewGrip Wrist Support Straps absorb vibration by comfortably compressing the wrist area and helps keep the median nerve and several tendons that control your finger movements from bulging out of shape. The natural cellular structure of 100% cotton, with its fuzzy little ends, attracts vibration up into the wrist wrap, deflecting it from your forearms. This makes your wrists and forearms more relaxed and stronger; allowing you to perform with more energy.  "I've been playing guitar for 16 years and a few years ago I started getting severe pain in my upper arms and wrists. A physician said I had the beginning stages of carpal tunnel syndrome and that my arm muscles had started fusing together because of repeated stress and motion. This caused me to buy a much more expensive guitar with easier action, but forced me to play less. About two years ago I was introduced to NewGrip wrist wraps. The difference has been amazing. Now my hands and arms don't get as tired. I play in a touring band with hour long sets every night and I am pain free! I highly recommended your wrist support."
Drummers use NewGrip wrist support...  The Official Wrist Straps for WFD  "Even though WFD Athletes are in TOP Physical Condition they use NewGrip Straps because they give the 'Extra Edge' in Comfort, Support, Controlled Wrist Temperature.. and besides they are just plain stylish!"

 Sore wrists and musicians seem to go hand in hand.. Here is why. Several tendons and the median nerve that run through the wrist (the carpal tunnel) inflame from over use; not unlike guitar strings that get lose from over playing. Our wrist support for guitarists keep those nerves and tendons in line; the same way a capo keeps strings in line.
 "You make the best product for a musician with wrist problems. After wrist surgery 5 years back and due to the carpal tunnel that developed as result of the surgery, recovery took 3 years. I went from 4-6 hours a day of playing to only 15-30 mins. So I set out to find some sort of brace/support. At that time I actually came across your site and thought "This is too good to be true", and moved on. Mistake #1. A year later and 100's of dollars wasted on useless wrist braces; I found your site again and ordered. Ever since using my first pair, 2 years ago, I've hardly taken them off! I teach over 60 piano lessons every week and gig every weekend. I wear your wrist wraps all day everyday and they get rid of that nuisance pain in my wrist! In the beginning I thought it was just in my head; that these "wraps" were working but after having 4 other band members get a pair, everyone agreed - they work. Your wrist straps are the reason I didn't give up playing piano." - Chris Rooney, New York 
"I received the supports yesterday and they're fantastic - I've had trouble with my wrists for almost a year, and this is the first time I've not been conscious of or pre-occupied with the pain or discomfort playing the piano."
- Steve Christie, Pianist www.SteveChristiemusic.comPIANO TUNER:
"I wear your wrist support day and night, only to let my wrists breath once or twice a day. But if I don't keep them on at night, the difference in the morning is unbearable. They are absolutely brilliant. I tuned a piano the other day and I never lost sensation once and it was really out of tune too, but no tingles or pins and needles or numbness. Fantastic!" - Pete Doyne, Canada  "Since wearing your wrist support bands for a couple months I notice I am not rubbing my wrists when I finish playing and I do not have to ice them like I used to. They keep my wrists warm and snug without sweat. I am so happy now that I can play longer and not have any pain after.
