Skiing Hand Support
Skiing is a popular winter sport, but it can cause injury to the hands or wrists, including bone and tendon injuries. When skiers fall, they frequently hurt their hands due to their wrists being strapped to their ski poles. A direct hit or a fall can cause an acute injury to the hand or wrist. However, pain may occur suddenly and get intense over time; bruising and swelling may also appear after a couple of days.

360 Relief Wrist & Thumb Support Brace is effective to reduce pain and discomfort by providing additional support and compression.
Resting the inflamed tendons and muscles relieves the pain and allows the body to repair. If your symptoms and pain don’t disappear after a couple of weeks with the RICE method, then seek medical attention. Your doctor or GP may suggest you undergo imaging tests like X-rays and MRI to examine the root cause of the injury.
You can also visit a physiotherapist for joint stability of your hand and wrist. They can help you perform exercises to regain strength and immobilise your hand joints. You can do these exercises at home once you’ve learned how to perform them correctly.
However, your doctor or physiotherapist may suggest you wear hand or wrist braces to keep your wrist in a neutral position. They can help relieve hand pain, swelling, and discomfort. They may also help provide additional support whilst healing and protect your hands from another injury.
At 360 Relief, you can find a variety of hand and wrist braces. These braces are designed with high-quality material that can help you to increase blood circulation and make the healing process faster. They can help you support your hand and protect it from further damage and harm.
The most common skiing injury is a thumb ligament tear, known as an ulnar collateral ligament, UCL. The injury occurs when the ski pole exerts pressure or stress on the thumb, especially when a skier falls.
Any strong force that bends the thumb backwards, away from the palm of your hands, results in ulnar collateral ligament stretch or tear. It most often occurs because of a direct fall onto an outstretched hand.
Hand braces help support the joints and promote proper movement and function, preventing further damage. A hand brace also helps avoid tendon tears, joint dislocation, and nerve damages in the hands.
A hand brace helps maintain your hand in a neutral position. A brace should be comfortable enough to sleep with it. It should not be too tight so as not to restrict blood circulation or fluid drainage. It would help if you also take care of materials to avoid odour and sweating while wearing a brace.
The primary preventive measures to avoid hand injuries are as follows:
- Maintain your fitness
- Warm up your body before skiing
- Stay hydrated as much as you can
- Know all the safety rules before skiing
