  • Michelle, Founder of Virtual Hand Care, shows you how to get wrist flexion back after a wrist sprain, fracture, or other arm injury. These top 5 wrist flexion exercises make it easy to recover your wrist flexion range of motion.
    If you are limited in bending your wrist then you know how hard daily activities like eating, preparing food, or performing your favorite hobbies and sports. In this video, I'll guide you through my Top 5 Wrist Flexion Exercises you can do after a Fracture or Elbow injury. These are active and passive stretching exercises to get your wrist bending.
    You may also be looking for forearm supination (turning your palm up) and/or wrist extension (moving your wrist back). I've got your covered!

    I broke my wrist and had my cast removed 2 months ago. I went back to the doctor because of stiffness and pain. After some X-rays, they said it all looked good and to just give it time. No mention of therapy😩. This video has been extremely helpful for my recovery!! My wrist literally felt 5 times better after the first session! Thanks for the help!!!

Your explanations and demonstrations are far more helpful than the last month of occupational therapy that I ‘ve had since I broke my wrist and a plate and 6 screws were put in. Thank you so much. The stiffness is finally starting to flex in my wrist and fingers. I highly recommend your videos!

    @kikiday2102 9 місяців тому

    Excellent! I could do these without the pain I have at OT using the net press and hand presses which put too much pressure on the top of my hand and kept me from loosening up the wrist properly due to discomfort. Love the traction pull prior to the last press. Love the active rather than passive stretches. Loved the tip on not flexing and extending in the same series before measurements. Trying to get "catch" back (swimming). Warm up exercise perfect for wake up with swelling mornings. Thank you! (DRF volar plate, 71, master's swimmer/ballet dancer).

    These are very helpful and I have added this video to my playlist. My radius bone was cracked rather than broken, so no surgery was needed. But I still required a cast. I just had it removed yesterday, and was given a soft small brace which is really more of a reminder than an actual support so that I won't lift anything heavy using my right hand or at least another two weeks. Then I will start PT.
    But I felt a stiffness was not comfortable . These gentle stretches have been very helpful with removing the stiffness. I am using them along with another series of exercises for the fingers called the six pack. Thank you for this demo!
