What Are the Different Types of Wrist Strengthening Exercises?
The wrists can be prone to strain and injury from a variety of activities, including sports and heavy computer use. Many common wrist problems, including carpel tunnel syndrome, can be treated or prevented with strengthening exercises. Wrist strengthening exercises such as wrist curls and using a gripping device can help to increase strength and flexibility in the wrists, hands, and forearms. As with any exercise, stretches should be done prior to beginning wrist strengthening exercises. This can help to warm up muscles and tendons in the wrists and prevent further strain or injury. These stretches also can be done throughout the work day to relieve wrist or arm pain caused by computer or mouse use.
