Hey guys,
Injured my right wrist doing some heavy bag work approx. 2 weeks ago. (had gloves on, no wraps) Still painful to hit the bag so i am laying off for a bit. Anyone have any exercises to strengthen wrists? I try and do a forearm specific exercise 2x a week. Willing to try anything that may help as this is pissing me off. Thanks for any help! Lookinup |

Once your wrist starts to feel better, try one of these.
You can search for videos on how it works on YouTube, but the principle is simple. It's a gyroscope, you power it by "holding" it at the point of most resistance. That point continually moves, so you will move your wrist in a way that is helpful to healing. I've been using one of these for over 20 years (wore one out already). I sit at a computer up to 16hrs a day typing approx 50 wpm, mousing, and doing various other repetitive things with my hands like playing keyboards. This widget is one of the best things you can do for your wrists. I've never been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, in spite of all the above. I'll warn you that holding it at the point of highest resistance is is tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it this thing rocks! |
