Top 5 WRIST FLEXION Exercises after a Fracture

very helpful. Have been trying to work from a sheet of paper and not getting them correct. Thanks.

Thank you very much

These exercises are great! The last one is especially helpful. Thank you!

Hi Michelle I fractured my distal radius and a cycling accident, as a Smith’s fracture, yes I’m selling my bikes. Having surgery in one day, can’t wait to get on the road to recovery. Do you have any exercises specifically for Piano playing. I am a pianist as well.
for enjoyment.

I guess a little pain while flexing is expected. I’m 10 weeks out post fracture .

Put your two hands and fingers together put them behind your head. Then you can do multiple wrist exercises as well in the office without a ball :-) . I even stretch them while rolling. It works great as well.

Came off bike, fractured distal radius and ulna, now have titanium plate. Healing well buy these exercises have been very helpful, definitely helping my wrist, so many thanks. 😊

OMG!! I had my cast removed less than a week ago, and was too lazy/ scared to start therapy. I did these exercises just now and I see a HUGE improvement in my fingers' movements! Thank you thank you thank you!!

I had a distal radius fracture and surgery a year and 3 months ago. After going to continuous Physiotherapy for 6 painful months I am still not able to make a fist and flex my wrist well.
I will use your exercises and definitely let you know my progress

Yes, stiffness is still on after 3 months, surgery, but this video helped. I use my hand, and it improves

removed arm cast yesterday...wrist isnt rotating at all or swinging! ....movements in the entire arm...

I so enjoy all of her exercises they have been a great help. I have had my wrist cast off for 10 days now.I am working on all of the exercises overcoming pain. But this morning I happen to think about my hot curlers to do my hair. I'm slowly working with my curling iron as my thumb is my finger that needs the most prayer. So I plugged in my hot curlers and was able to do them fairly well. And when I picked one of them up I thought this would be great to hold and grip helping me with getting my fist back into a complete tight fist. It is amazing. I hold one until it cools down and then I go get another one and I hold it until it cools down. I can do my fist so much better after holding a hot curler. I have to let him cool down a little bit as they're way too hot when I first pick them up but this was a GREAT answer to prayer and I certainly wanted to pass it on.
God Bless everyone who is working through a fractured wrist. Susan

Excellent.thank you

Just got out of my cast this morning after almost 5 weeks. This is just what I was looking for to start getting my hand/arm back.

Has anyone had a spanning bridge plate inserted from the finger to the forearm for a severe wrist break? Radius and scaphoid and a few others were smashed so pieces.. have had the bridge plate removed after 4 months but my wrist feels like stone.. it moves a little with opened fingers but no movement whatsoever with a closed fist.

I broke my wrist 6 weeks ago and had surgery 4 weeks ago. I started PT this week. My problem is that after my last session, I am in a lot of pain again, and my hand/fingers/wrist is very swollen now. Is this normal?

number 5

Thanks much…the warm up was nice

Hi i cant turn my wrist. Is there any way for this

Watched from Ghana, West Africa. I find each one of the exercises very helpful. I did not want to go to the physio department yesterday after taking off my immobilization splint. My wrist and fingers are quite sore and stiff. A few of these have greatly helped. Thank you very much

These exercises are extremely helpful and feel like they will work, are working. Thank you.

Really helping me to recover

This was very helpful

Thank you veryy much i broken ulna and radius both but i cannot supinate it is stuck pain ,today i did take off cast

The last exercise really helps

t.y.-can't hold a marker, not. even close too stiff

Michelle, you are a Godsend individual helping thousands with your videos. This one is a must to get my very stiff wrist going.

Ive had a sprained wrist injury for 3 months. I’m 65 and during a soccer game with my 7 year old grandson I tripped and put all my weight onto my wrist. Ive been in agony at times, But after discovering your fantastic exercise following trigger finger surgery I checked out your wrist exercises. 3 days of those and my pain has gone. Your videos are doing an amazing service. I’m in the UK and most healthcare establishments hand you a printed sheet but your structured and gradual exercises are a real game changer.
Thank You

I really like them and feel there make so much sense. Wondering about the last one where you pull the wrist forward and then flex downward. Is that also the same motion with a wrist plate in place

❤❤❤

Thankyou ❤

thank you so much, i do like the last stretch , it really h

Thank you so much for this. I had my stitches out two days ago and the cast came off 10 days ago but I was offered no therapy so my wrist felt really stiff although I could move my fingers and make a full fist. Your exercises for regaining flexibility are amazing. I’ve only started but I already feel better and hope to regain full mobility and strength in a couple of weeks time to be able to drive.

all helped me alot

Thank you very much for all these exercises. After a metacarpal fracture, my hand was fixed in a plaster splint for 6 weeks. Afterwards it was totally stiff and swollen. As I was on holiday, I couldn't go to physiotherapy. I practised with your videos all the time and they helped me so much!!

How been 2 weeks exerciseing wrist they videos helping alot 😊

Just removed cast 2 days ago. I feel your explanation makes more sense to me than my therapist and it is better to move you for counting down. 😅 Very helpful version!

Had my cast removed this week found you before it was. Will be using your videos as my physio love the gentle way you talk to us thank you so much

Hey madam me what to do after my fracture left hand you can suggest some ideas 💡 please 🥺 suggest your idea

thank you, been out of my cast for 3 weeks from a left wrist that had 3 fractures. Your video is extremely helpful!

Thankyou so much, you are the best!

Thank you so much. I wasn’t pushing myself with the sheet my hand therapist gave me. This helped a lot today.

Thank you for this, these exercises have helped me a lot. I still have swollen hand and fingers though it's a month cast has been removed. Can you help , I can't grip or make even half fist

Thank you for sharing these exercises. They are gold for people like me who cannot afford to go to a physiotherapist.

Why my wrist always klicking making noise

Thanks, these exercises are the best I have found. It's just been a month since my surgery, are these
appropriate at this time? I still have some swelling in my forearm and wrist.

My baby same problem 😭

I had a scaphoid waist fracture that was treated with a plaster cast. After getting clearance from the doctor, I started rehab on my own, and this video has been so much help for me.

thank you so much

Let me know what you think of these wrist flexion exercises! These are some of my favorite!
