OS1 Wrist & Hand Support Products

At Vitality Chiropractic Australia, we stock OS1 performance supports designed to provide practical support for the wrist and upper limb during everyday activities, exercise, work and rehabilitation.

OS1 products are particularly suited to people looking for comfortable wrist support during activities that place repeated demands on the hands and wrists. Depending on the product, they may also complement rehabilitation programs for conditions involving the wrist, hand and forearm.

Whether you’re managing wrist discomfort, returning to activity after an injury or looking for additional support during exercise and work, OS1 provides practical solutions that can fit easily into an active lifestyle.

Explore our OS1 range below and find the support that’s right for your needs.

Why Choose OS1?

The wrist is involved in almost everything we do — typing, lifting, gripping, exercising, driving and everyday household activities.

Repeated loading or prolonged positioning can sometimes contribute to wrist discomfort and reduced function. A suitable wrist support can provide additional comfort and support while you work on the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms.

OS1 wrist supports may be useful for:

• Wrist support during exercise and physical activity
• Everyday wrist protection and comfort
• Repetitive-use activities
• Work and computer-related wrist strain
• Supporting return to activity following injury
• Complementing wrist and hand rehabilitation
• Providing additional support during gripping activities

The appropriate level of support depends on your symptoms, activity and rehabilitation requirements.

OS1 Wrist Supports

OS1 wrist supports are designed to provide targeted support around the wrist without necessarily restricting normal hand function.

A wrist sleeve may be useful when you want additional support while continuing to move and use the hand during everyday activities or exercise.

For people experiencing ongoing wrist symptoms, however, support should generally form part of a broader approach that considers mobility, strength, workload, ergonomics and the underlying cause of the problem.

OS1 for Carpal Tunnel Support

Carpal tunnel syndrome involves irritation or compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel at the wrist.

Symptoms can include:

• Tingling or numbness in the hand
• Pins and needles
• Burning or aching discomfort
• Reduced grip strength
• Symptoms that are worse at night

A wrist support may sometimes be recommended to help maintain a more neutral wrist position, particularly during activities or sleep.

However, wrist pain or hand tingling can have several different causes. Symptoms may also originate from the forearm, elbow, shoulder or cervical spine.

If you’re experiencing persistent numbness, weakness or neurological symptoms, professional assessment is recommended.

OS1 & Wrist Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation following a wrist or hand injury often involves gradually restoring:

• Range of motion
• Grip strength
• Wrist strength
• Load tolerance
• Coordination
• Functional movement

A wrist support can sometimes provide additional confidence or protection while progressing through rehabilitation.

However, rehabilitation should be appropriately matched to the injury and stage of recovery. A brace or sleeve should not automatically replace movement and strengthening where these are appropriate.

Our Wrist & Hand Rehabilitation category provides additional products that can complement an individualised rehabilitation program.

OS1 for Work & Everyday Activities

Wrist discomfort can become particularly noticeable during repetitive activities.

Common examples include:

• Keyboard and mouse use
• Manual work
• Repetitive gripping
• Lifting
• Gym training
• Racquet sports
• Cycling
• Prolonged phone use

An appropriate wrist support can provide additional comfort during these activities.

It is also important to consider the bigger picture. Workstation setup, keyboard and mouse positioning, lifting technique, training volume, recovery and regular movement breaks may all influence wrist loading.

Choosing the Right OS1 Wrist Support

Choosing a wrist support should start with your intended use.

For everyday support

A comfortable sleeve-style support may be appropriate when you want lightweight support during daily activities.

For exercise

Consider the level of support required for the activity and whether the product allows sufficient movement for your sport or training.

For rehabilitation

Choose a product that complements your rehabilitation goals rather than unnecessarily restricting movement.

For wrist and hand symptoms

If you’re experiencing persistent pain, numbness, tingling or weakness, consider having the underlying cause assessed before relying on a wrist support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are OS1 wrist supports used for?

OS1 wrist supports are designed to provide support around the wrist during activities such as exercise, work and everyday use. They may also complement rehabilitation programs for certain wrist and hand conditions.

Are OS1 wrist supports suitable for carpal tunnel syndrome?

A wrist support may be useful for some people with carpal tunnel syndrome, particularly when maintaining a relatively neutral wrist position is recommended. However, persistent numbness, weakness or neurological symptoms should be professionally assessed.

Can I wear an OS1 wrist support while exercising?

Depending on the specific product and activity, an OS1 wrist support may be suitable during exercise. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the support does not interfere with safe movement or circulation.

Can OS1 supports help with wrist pain?

A wrist support may provide additional comfort and support, but it does not necessarily address the underlying cause of wrist pain. Persistent symptoms should be assessed to determine the appropriate management strategy.

Are OS1 products suitable for wrist rehabilitation?

They can complement some wrist rehabilitation programs, depending on the injury and stage of recovery. Rehabilitation should generally include appropriate movement and strengthening rather than relying exclusively on external support.

How do I choose an OS1 wrist support?

Consider what you need the support for, how much movement you need to retain and whether you’re using it for everyday activities, exercise or rehabilitation. If you’re unsure, professional assessment can help identify the most appropriate type of support.
