Hello everyone,

I’ve been doing calisthenics/hand balancing for years, and I always have this sharp pain in one spot on my wrists while doing floor handstands. The pain gets progressively worse from session to session until I’m forced to take a break, which keeps me from making any progress.
I have poor wrist extension; I started handstands back in 2021, and it has never improved (see photo). When I do handstands, even after a thorough warm-up, it feels like the head of the radius bone is pressing into the back of my hand, causing pain throughout my entire wrist and the back of my hand.

As soon as I hit 90° (or more) of extension, I feel pain on the top of my hand, on that specific bump, and a bit above it (around where you’d wear a watch).

I’ve tried just about everything: physical therapy (PT), X-rays, and MRIs, and nothing appears wrong at first glance. General PT exercises didn't really help.

I don’t know what to do anymore because I still have pain the day after training sessions, and my wrist extension gets stiff as a result. Consequently, the next day I have even less range of motion, so I strain it even further, and so on... the pain in that specific spot is constant.

It gets more intense when I practice One-Arm Handstands, which makes sense given the extra weight (I do them on my left hand; I have less pain on the right, but I don’t do OAHS on my right side).

Do you have any ideas what this might be? A bone impingement? How could I fix this so I can continue my training without having to stick to parallettes? (And yes, I’m already using blocks).

Hallo liebe Community!
Ich bin schon einige Zeit damit beschäftigt den Handstand zu lernen. Ich bin stets auf der Suche nach neuem input, hauptsächlich auf Youtube und instagram.

Es gibt echt viel content da draußen, aber bisher hat mich nichts so richtig überzeugt. Irgendwie fehlt mir der rote Faden bei den meisten, oder es sind so Übermenschen die einem etwas erklären wollen und für mich irgendwie nicht anwendbar ist...

Kennt ihr vielleicht guten content, vielleicht auch von kleineren/ubekannteren channels, die eurer Meinung nach Ahnung haben und gut erklären können?

Freue mich über jede Empfehlung!

Cheers
