My wrist clicks after a snowboarding incident 8 months ago, and it's been doing it since. It only clicks when I grab my wrist with my other hand and gently rotate it, but my other wrist doesn't do that. It clicks far more easily after doing something like bench press, but isn't ever painful. Also thank you for great vids!
The first wrist extension with rotation and push back is golden. You are the first one to tell me to push back against the stretch, that really helped a lot. First time in months that the click is gone! Thank you so much!
This video is great. My wrist hurts but this is the best video to help it go away. You are great and I thank you for giving away such good content for free.
Oh my gosh!! My wrist was so stiff after working all day, but after doing these exercises my wrist felt so much looser from all that tension. Not even 5 minutes later, I got the BEST pop ever in my wrist. It was like popping yoir knuckles, but better. All the stiffness left, what a life saver!!
I broke my wrist 9 months ago and I have clicking and popping whenever I make a fist, seems to be coming from the pinky side wrist joint and mainly the pinky finger. The whole hand/wrist seems stiff and sore, hard to relax and feel fluid. Probably some chronic inflammation? I’ll try these exercises for a while and report back.
If it's a mechanical cause, it's common to find some subtle areas of joint stiffness, muscle tightness or muscle weakness. Hope you can find those as they are relatively easier to improve!
I've had wrist pain for years, clicking wrist. Used to be an artist full time but the wrist pain was too much. Dr talked me in to thumb arthritis surgery. Worked for some of my pain but didn't effect the main problem. Wrist clicks louder and more intensely/ painfully when it's the worst and wrist is most used. I've tried almost everything through the years to no avail. Have stretched and massaged many times before but did notice less to no popping after just stretching for a few minutes after a good day using my wrist. May have to just really focus on stretching and massaging more and check my popping as an indicator.
Hey mate! Usually its important to find whats slightly weaker than it should be, and whats more restricted than it should be in order to understand why something may be dysfunctional. With the hand and wrist that also includes the neck and shoulder as they can have a flow on affect down the arm. Hope the video helps in some way!
My right wrist has clicked for the vetter part of 12 years, its not painful 99.9% of the time, and I've not really "done anything" about it, its moreso an oddity if anything
I have RSI in my wrist and have battled it for about 2 years now. It stems from my computer use and to combat it I have been doing lightweight exercises with it. Do you have any suggestions on rehabbing my issue? Thanks and Great Video!
No worries Owen! If you're struggling with RSI check this video out: ua-cam.com/video/Jw8ym-6Qnws/v-deo.html. it goes through one of the main things I find is probably missed with RSI all the time - the neck. Hope it helps!
I use to play goalkeeper in highschool and i am university student now and play goalkeeper i fractured my left wrist in middle school. And ever since ive had clicking but when i click it to much i get some slight pain, should i go to an orthopedic? I am also a computer engineering student so im always working with software coding on a computer or little electrical parts so that could add to it as well
Hi Ace, unfortunately I can't give specific advice over the internet as I can't assess you for myself. If it's a genuine issue for you it's best to go and see a Physio or Physical Therapist and they can figure out exactly what needs to happen.
Thx for explanation but i wanna ask about clicking in general without pain during movement results from weakness of muscle around joint and during bearing position hands get trembled? Sorry for long question 🫣😁
It really depends what symptoms someone has. Generally we want to strengthen anything that appears weak, and loosen anything that presents as restricted in some way!
After starting to play golf I think I overdid it until I was having inflammation in my palms. It's been 6 months having the symptoms. Currently I have some instability on my left wrist 'a visible clunk when I bend wrist downwards' but at times it doesn't happen when I bend my wrist. The clicking happens when I bend the wrist towards the ulnar side
It really depends on the reasom for the click. If its just a mechanical issue then logically it can settle with the right treatment and exercises. If its based on a structural issue, exercises may still make a big impact but surgery may also present as an option if the desired level of function isnt reached.
It's been almost 10 months since my wrist started clicking... I recently completed 18 sessions at my physiotherapist and the pain hasn't changed one bit... I'm starting to think this pain will probably stay for life.
While ulnar nerve flossing, the tendency to lift my pinkie straight to the side of my mouth ala Doctor Evil is indeed immense. I've seen a lot of videos on UA-cam essentially boiling down cases of snapping wrist to be a surgery job. In your clinical experience, have you found this kind of treatment plan to be sufficient enough, be it to stop the clicking or to prevent any type of surgical intervention? Brilliant content Grant, really thought provoking and outside the box on your elaborations, very appreciated.
Thanks J! It really depends what the underlying issue is. If theres a deeper structural cause then surgery may ultimately be on the cards for some. These ideas tend to go after the more mechanical based ones. The advantage is that someone can always still opt for surgery at some stage down the track if its required but I see too many who do so before trying to clear up any mechanical issues first. Either way the better someone goes into any op the better they often do afterward!
It really depends mate. It's hard to give specific advice over the internet and best you ask someone in-person so they can give you the most specific advice.
I've been looking for an answer to this question I have and I haven't found anything like what I have... when I move my wrist left to right or right to left it skips a part of that movement kind of feel like a something this flicking over and my wrist to snaps and doesn't smoothly move from left to right I had this issue for as long as I can remember and I'm on 18 HELP!!
Hey Great Video! I noticed my wrist clicks when going from supination to pronation but when I bend my pinky finger it stops! I was wondering is this Unlar related and can something be done ?
Hello, one year ago I had an accident where I fell on my wrist afer jumping up and back at the same time and landed on my wrist in an extended position. I was diagnosed with a scaphoid fracture, which apparently has healed, but I still have wrist popping on the ulnar side of the wrist since the accident. What can I do?
All of a sudden my wrist is making popping snapping sound and it never happened earlier it was normal no sound at all I m not having any pain in wrist or arm is .it safe for me to workout in the gym ? Please help me
When twisting the hand that has the most pain side to side as you do around 3:35. My wrist clicks and it just becomes more uncomfortable. Thanks! I’m going to test out the neck stretches with a lacrosse ball for a few days and see how it feels. Went to see a doc last week and getting an MRI soon.
A clicking wrist may be more than just a wrist-specific issue. Hope these exercises help!

Amazing to hear! Hopefully you can fix it up completely! Good luck!
Same for me! That push back has made all the difference!
Thanks for this. I think I have a mild case of tendonitis and this seems to have helped a bit.
This video is great. My wrist hurts but this is the best video to help it go away. You are great and I thank you for giving away such good content for free.
