WAGs - Wrist Assured™ Gloves

Review of Support Gloves for Wrist Pain During Pilates

Many Pilates exercises require weight bearing on the hands and wrists. Often, wrist modifications can be used to remove stress from the wrists and hands. If changing hand position doesn't alleviate discomfort, Wrist Assured™ Gloves, or WAGs can help with the discomfort.

WAGs Ultra

By customer request. This WAG includes an adjustable wrist wrap for extra external support.

The WAGs Ultra is appropriate for people with arthritis, basal thumb joint pain, ligament injury, joint laxity (pre/postpartum) and mild tendonitis. It is not recommended for chronic swelling or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome because of the elastic compression around the wrist.

WAGs Pro

Appropriate for people with arthritis, basal thumb joint pain, Mild Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis, swelling or general wrist pain or discomfort.

Recommended for people who don't really need the additional external support of the wrist wrap. Some people prefer the open wrist and find the wrap hot and constrictive (others love the feel of the compression). The Ultra and the Pro have the same gel pad, and the ergonomic benefits are the same.

WAGs Flex

This new model features a slightly shorter thinner gel pad than the Pro and Ultra styles. This is geared to people with less severe wrist pain or who want to prevent wrist pain and discomfort. The shorter gel pad allows for easier grasping so this style crosses over well to weight lifting and biking.


Comments

Is the wrist band adjustable? How is this glove really different from a padded weight lifting glove with wrist band (what I use)?

Hi Centa,

The difference is the gloves have the gel which put your hand at an angle, just taking some of the strain off your wrist and preventing that 90 degree angle. The wrist band is velcro so you can have it as tight as you want. I own a pair of these.
