Feeling Unstable? Try taping your wrists!

There isn't an athlete out there that hasn't at some point taped a joint. I myself started using tape on my wrists about 6 yrs ago -the climbing world is well versed in taping methods, probably because there are so many tendon and ligament injuries that occur in the hands.
When I started getting pain in my wrists from riding all day it occurred to me that I could tape my wrists before I go out for a ride. As soon as did, poof! No more pain!

Of course I get a not so sexy tan line but who cares. If you choose to go this route just remember to do a nice forearm and wrist stretch before you start taping.


I like to tape it pretty tight and high on my wrist. If in doubt there are a ton of videos out there to guide you.
