Just want to say thank you to Coach Eric for this. I had this injury for almost 6 months before I found this video.
I went to two physios and it didn't fix it. However, I did these exercises for 3 months almost every day and could begin to do pushups again.
Over a year later, I am working towards doing freestanding handstands.
Can't recommend this enough.
Thanks so much Coach!!

I have to admit my wrist feel so much better, this gives me hope that I can build up to a handstand again! Thanks a million

I injured my wrist two months ago in a bicycle accident. After a few days of doing the moves you explained, my wrist is now almost back to perfection. Thank you so much!

[robinmentch]

Wow!!! MY wrist feels so much better !! I had the same injury and I do transcription and so my wrist is a mess. This helped immediately!! Thank you so much!

Dude thank you. I've had a nagging wrist pain in a push up position for a while now, but the third one sorted me out!

Dear Mr. Wong, thank you so much for sharing this. I've been kickboxing again after about 4 months lockdown and was so enthusiastic (and also angry because of the whole situation) the first time and used the wrong boxing gloves at the gym and for 10 days haven't been able to workout or even do a downward facing dog during yoga. After doing the exercises within the other video and these ones already feel less pain and stiffness. I thought I just had to take time and wait for it to heal. I am very grateful :-) with these wonderful exercises! Kindest regards, Evelien from the Netherlands

Just an update, it did work!!! The lump on my wrist and pain are now gone. If I could post the videos of its before & after I would. I worried I had to undergo operation for this but glad it worked. Thank you very much!

So I've had stiffnes and pain on my right wrist for a like 5 months now. When I noticed the pain on my wrist, I asked a doctor about it and they said I had a ganglio. I tried popping it but nothing happened. I still have a little bump on the back of my wrist, that looks just like a ganglio but it's harder and very small. After like a month with a wrist support thing on my arm, my wrist got better. couple of months went by and recently I injured it while I was biking and I fell on my wrist. I'm not able to move it as much as I used to and it hurts a lot. I'm going to try these exersices and i will update this comment if my wrist gets any better. Wish me luck.


My wrist is officially back to normal.

tumbled off my bike onto wrist 3 months ago and its severely affected my Budokonyoga movements. Aabout to rent a chiropractor but going to try this....Thky Eric.

Big thumbs up. Suffered FOOSH about four months ago and have been very slowly healing but still difficult to use as before. As a martial arts person and getting on in age I have a daily routine of hand and wrist exercises that take about 15 minutes. Even though I have been doing that, it hasn't proved as effective as it has just doing those three in helping to release the forearm fascia tightness and regain my previous wrist flexibility. HUUUGE amount of gratitude to you for sharing these quick and easy stretches. Even doing them just once has allowed a greater freedom of movement without pain or stiffness. Amazing. I will include these in my dailys from now on.

Ive had wrist pain on and off for over a year, and 2 months ago a shoulder injury on top of my damaged wrists prevented me from working out to this day. This video gives me hope to finally rid myself of this ailment. Thank you Eric.

[dathrakki]

I have to give credit where credits due! This videos has helped and the exercises are effective!

Years ago I had chronic wrist issues for about 2 years and when I started these exercises my wrists improved.

Again, 10 months ago I started having ulnar side pain (outside wrist). Progressively became worse with weight lifting and boxing. I was given some exercises via my physio, which helped some what. However, after doing these exercises twice a day because my wrists were flared up again. My wrists feel much better and I have noticed a significant difference.

Thank you so much for posting this video.

Thank you Sir!!!
Couldn't do push-ups or Dips for months after doing these exercises I feel Great
Thank you Much 👍

[tommccahill]

Absolutely spot on! Perfect for my FOOSH injury. Thank you! I went over the top of a bike (brakes locked) and went straight down to the pavement like Superman. If I hadn’t already been in decent shape, my front teeth would be gone. I felt my lip touch the road. Anyway, great advice. It works very well.

[marthecollin]

This you very much, I try immediately

[viktorkokoruza]

Thanks, helped immediately same as your another exercises for the wrist injuries!

I've had two motorcycle falls years ago with outstretched arms. Nothing was broken, but I made a bad mistake in not getting proper physio to recover. So everytime I overdo it or use exercises especially ones that push into the palm of the hand like push ups, standard curls, band or cable tricep extensions with palms pushing away....the wrist flare up and I suffer. I've decided to start working on my wrists as I would do any other body part.

I have seen two of the main exercises that you do here done elsewhere too, but yours are better fine tuned. Most people teaches it doing two hands together....yours are better by doing them one at a time. The first one I like the way that you hold down the wrist too with the free hand and I like the cue about the elbow not being flared out and turned in to engage the lats on both exercises.

The second exercise on the back of the hand is a game changer. The way its mostly thought is again to the front and with both hands. This left me in pain just trying to get into position. So I like the way you come behind the body to have an easier starting point...that's real smart. This is important even if you didn't have wrist pain. A lot of people like me in their 60s won't have that range of motion or flexibility to do that exercise in front. Thanks....I picked up a nugget of gold there in your video.
