1. Squeeze and Release: Simply make a fist, squeeze your fingers together and release.
2. Pinch and Release: All 5 of our fingers will touch with force and release.
3. Finger Taps: First, we’ll tap all fingers with our thumb, and then we’ll slide our thumb from the tip to the bottom of our fingers.
4. Wrist Flexion, second, we’ll do a Wrist Extension upwards, and then a Wrist Extension downwards.
5. Radial Deviation and Ulnar Deviation: We’ll want to keep our arm straight with our palm facing out and turn our hands inside and out.
6. Pronation and Supination: Keeping our arms straight we will make a fist and rotate our wrists clockwise and counterclockwise. Go to where you feel comfortable.
7. Tilt Down: Now let’s grab that small ball. First, we want to grab the ball, extend your arm and tilt the ball down.
8. Tilt-Up: Same thing as the last exercise but we’ll now tilt up. These exercises are great to strengthen your wrists.
