The idea behind wraps is to stabilize the small bones of the hand and wrist to prevent injury, and these went above and beyond in that regard. Sure, I've used them in training, and they were excellent and easy to use thanks to the handy thumb loop and Sean's video of his preferred way to wrap; but these shined through when my suffered non-training -related wrist pain and I suggested she wear them just for the support and stabilization they provide. It worked like a charm, and the next day she was fine, having given those structures the rest they needed to heal (I'm not giving anyone reading this any medical advice, all I'm saying is what we did).
