Top 5 WRIST FLEXION Exercises after a Fracture

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!!!

I love all your videos. Thank you. If my wrist heals I will forever be grateful. Particularly like your kindness and patience. When I am discouraged I just do another video. They. are all excellent.

In addition to some great teaching and exercises, I also liked your choice in clothing - a basic black top, non-distracting, and allowed me to focus on the exercises you were teaching. Very professional and added to my learning. Thank you again.

I am really pleased to find these exercises after breaking my right wrist 4 weeks ago then tripping and breaking my left wrist a week ago my doctor decided to cut off my right plaster leaving my right wrist very tight, sore and vulnerable..I'm a yoga teacher so feeling panicked at such a stiff wrist .
I will be practising these exercises and already feel more confident .

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

[Noaleh]

Oh thank you so much. I feel so happy that I found you. I love you excited just yesterday they took my cast off and I know you will be my therapy. I love it. I already practiced audio exercise. I’m so stiff, but I know that drop by drop create a movement.
🙏🙏🙏

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!!

[buketbilgic]

I had a broken distal radius fraction in multiple fractions. I had a cast on for 7 weeks. It's been three days since I started doing these exercises. all five exercises helped me a lot, especially the one with the marker in hand was great. I also love finishing off with pulling movement because it opens some space. Thank you <3

[JuanHoya]

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

[rohinir]

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis three months ago. My left wrist was swollen, stiff and painful. I have been following your supination, flexion, extension videos and feel a world of difference. Can’t thank you enough!

[eh]

Thank you - so happy to find your channel!

I'm 9 days out of surgery for a plate in my broken wrist. The hospital (UK) took my cast off yesterday and gave me a support sleeve and a page of exercises. I tried to do the exercises today, but can't manage any of them because they all involve stretching the fingers, which is too painful. I came across this channel, and the exercises on here are so much more helpful. It helps to have someone explaining how to do them properly as you go along. Thank you so much.

[susannaebarb]

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

All helpful! Thanks for allyour tips and your great teaching style.

[ramonafotiade]

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.

[rosemarytranquilli]

I’m 70 years old and you helped me more than my physical therapy. Especially when we follow you and you count with us for the entire ten which you do in some of your videos. I love all your videos and stopped PT and used you instead (you have all the sales excercises. Thank you

[andrewconnolly]

I just did the is flexion routine for the first I feel I’ve gained mobility already. The descriptions of the details are a huge benefit

[johncraig]

This is really good! I could feel a difference in a very short period of time.. my tendons stopped clicking, and I could feel the blood flow. I was an interpreter for the deaf and started to get carpet tunnel, and a nurse told me to do the traction on my fingers, and my pain and discomfort went away. She called it decompression. Wow, what an Angel to share these gifts with others
