I've sprained my wrist when training at the boxing gym through hitting the punchbag and floor exercises. Any ideas of helping it heal as i cant return to boxing at the moment until it has healed.
Any tips would be very very grateful :)

Nothign you really can do with a sprin, just go boxing dont use that hand what i used to do lol
That sucks. I know because it happened to both my wrists.
Aside from rest, there probably isn't much you can do except make sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet so the bones have material they can make repairs with.
One nice thing about the skeletal system is that when a bone is damaged or stressed, it re-builds itself up stronger when it repairs. So hopefully you won't have to deal with this again. :)
But yeah, I found a month off from the gym was the only way to make that pain go away, permanently. :(
One thing you might do to avoid this in the future is to ask your coach to double-check your punching technique. If you are over-extending your hook punches it will stress the bones in your wrist (I learned the hard way about that.) I imagine improper technique with other punches could also hurt...
Best of luck!
My advice is stop WANKING so much :LOLATYOU:Quote:

Train what you can roadwork etc.. When done right good shadowboxing is the best excercise for a boxer bar sparring.
I recommend arnica cream over your wrist to speed up healing, along with applying mild heat to increase circulation. It may also help to mix in some witch hazel and/or MSM cream with the arnica cream to reduce any remaining inflammation.
If it's just a mild sprain you probably won't have any trouble working with the double-end bag or the speed bag, but stay away for exercises that put more strain on your wrist such as hitting the heavy bag and sparring.
If I were you, I would use this time for learning. Work on technique, watch fights, start a stretching program, get proficient at jumping rope, etc. If you've already payed the monthly fee at the gym you can still go there and get a good work nonetheless with the adjustments that you will have to make.
