CONT

Treatment of wrist sprains must be based on getting full use of mobility back as soon as possible ... Bandaging will help if enough support is given to the wrist without restricting circulation to the fingers. You may find the wrist strap useful if you decide to continue playing with a very mild wrist injury, and as physical (and mental) support when you start to play again after a more serious wrist sprain. Many wrist strappings now available have an absorbent outer covering so that, in position, the support also serves as a sweatband wristlet.
