My Grip Is Weak
Weak grip can be from tendon pain, nerve compression, or unstable shoulder/forearm. Pinpointing the driver keeps you training safely.
Quick checks
- Pain near elbow with grip/twist → possible tennis/golfer’s elbow.
- Tingling or night numbness → check nerve compression.
- Shoulder feels loose/weak → load may be bypassing the shoulder.
What helps
- Neutral wrist when lifting; avoid sustained pinch grips.
- Use larger handles, straps, or lighter loads temporarily.
- Strengthen shoulder/scapular stabilizers to support grip.
How we treat
- Circulation HD for nerve/tendon sheath adhesions.
- Circulation PT for scapular control, forearm loading, and graded grip return.
