How to Warm Up Your Wrists for Pain-Free Handbalancing | Gold Medal Bodies. We get a lot of questions from people concerned about wrist pain when getting started with handstands and other gymnastic-type movements. It’s completely natural that you’d have some discomfort in the beginning. After all, you’re probably not used to supporting your weight on your hands. You’ll need to spend some time strengthening the joints.
