Why Should You Wear a Wrist and Thumb Support?
Designed to shield your wrist from unwanted movement or improper alignment, wrist braces help ensure your injury heals properly. If you don't stabilise the area when you're suffering from a wrist condition or recovering, this can lead to the injury worsening which will cause more pain in the long run.
Sizing of the Oppo Support
The Oppo Wrist and Thumb Support is available in four different sizes, enabling you to select the size that will fit your wrist and thumb perfectly. Please follow these instructions to ensure you get a good fit:
- Measure the circumference of your wrists.
- Make sure that you measure at the bony part of your wrists (the widest part).
- If you fall between sizes, we would recommend opting for the larger size of the two.
Size | Wrist Circumference (cm) |
Small | 14 - 15cm |
Medium | 16 - 18cm |
Large | 19 - 21cm |
Extra Large | 22 - 23.5cm |
How Do You Apply the Wrist and Thumb Brace?
- Position thumb on the thumb locking area of the support.
- Secure the hook-and-loop strap beside the thumb area to desired compression.
- Secure elastic hook-and-loop fastener to desired compression.
Additional Thumb Support
Wrist braces often provide concentrated stability to the joints in the wrist without stabilising the thumb, which can cause further irritation in the tendons and ligaments in the wrist. The Oppo Thumb and Wrist Support provides a firm, cast-like casing to hold the thumb in an appropriate position for aligned healing, allowing for the necessary degree of movement only.
Neoprene for Heat Retention
Employing a comfortable neoprene fabric, the Wrist and Thumb Stabiliser helps to raise the temperature of the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the wrist to increase blood circulation. In doing so, this accelerates the body's natural healing process, relieving pain and inflammation to help injuries recover faster.
Adjustable Compressive Strap
With an adjustable compressive strap that employs an elasticated material and secures the support, you can customise the compression provided to the joint and muscle, according to your unique requirements. By tightening the strap, you can offer additional structural support to the wrist and reduce tension in the wrist and finger extensors during gripping.
Strengthen the Joint and Prevent Injury
Using the Oppo Wrist and Thumb Stabiliser, you ensure the joints heal correctly and this allows for greater flexibility in the muscles, tendons and ligaments once properly healed. This reduces the risk of new or recurring injury, allowing you to get back to the gym without worrying about over-exertion.
