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!

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

[@soniahofmann4969]

It's been almost 3 months I fractured my radial wrist bone and the swelling has never gone down so when I do these exercises I don't get the flexion I need because the skin is so tight what should I do

[@khattakjani6722]

Ma'am, how are you? My wrist is broken and it's been four months now. It's still swollen.

[@sunitakale9484]

I started going to gym but after some days, in an accident I broke my right wrist. My dream was to build a great physic........

[@ahmedmasoud3914]

Yes GOD will reward you with blessing cause you’re helping injured people to recover . We all love you and appreciate you 🙏

[@andreagoncalvescardos4809]

@@soniahofmann4969 research on hot compress to reduce swelling, I believe you do it before exercise

[@diegovaldes3471]

Scaphoid fracture team here! plus two other hand fractures as well...after 12 weeks on cast this feels great! Thank you so much! Fast Recovery to everyone here!!

[@mpdubiel]

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!!!

[@simsy123]

How's it going now? Did the exercises work?

[@michelinehershey3407]

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.

[@VirtualHandCare]

This makes my day! So glad the videos are helpful!

[@cian4468]

All 5 are my favorites. They're so helpful and unlike others I've come across online.

[@buketbilgic502]

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

[@carriemitchell8021]

Your videos are so helpful,healing and enjoyable.I definitely see the difference daily in my wrist mobility.

[@eh5945]

Thank you - so happy to find your channel!

[@barbarafischer8569]

You’re videos are excellent. Your explanations and demonstrations are far more helpful than the last month of occupational therapy that I ‘ve had since I broke my wrist and a plate and 6 screws were put in. Thank you so much. The stiffness is finally starting to flex in my wrist and fingers. I highly recommend your videos!

[@naeemazehra6775]

i am here again doing hand exercises. some times hard to believe that my fingers had become so stiff honestly i thought i have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. but one day suddenly you pop up showing very good and effective exercises. i was not able to to put my fingers on key board now i am typing. thanks lot michelle. God bless you.

[@rajahuja7663]

Thanks it is very helpful

[@MartyPearson-jq9qe]

I am so thankful you founded Virtual Hand Care and that I found this channel following my wrist fracture in October 2022! These have helped me so much! I stopped doing them for a while and it seemed like my wrists (both were injured but only one was broken) seemed to be getting stiff and/or my progress stopped. I knew I had to start doing these exercises again - and they continue to be very helpful!

[@VirtualHandCare]

I'm so glad they are helpful! Your body is definitely telling you it's not time to be done. 👍

[@MrBaleega]

Very helpful 👌 Thank you

[@johncraig4661]

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

[@SANATAN19036]

Tonnes of thanks ... these movements have helped me a lot

[@marisavongerard1382]

These exercises are so helpful and although they are gentle they have improved my wrist flexion - in both wrists. I broke both my wrists playing tennis 5 months ago so I don't have a "good" hand to help with the exercises but can manage these ones. Thanks Michelle!

[@aldomoreno6890]

[@andrewconnolly7020]

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

[@donnahardin4651]

Wow - you are sooo kind and compassionate. I have been soo discouraged with my hand specialist….no empathy. Thank you for the great tips.

[@kristinachan8750]

The isolated wrist flexion really help me a lot. Because it was hard to flex those wrist inward, don't know how to do it. So by placing the arm like you did in the video, it really worked! Thank you so much for explaining it so thoughtful~

[@clairefisher6503]

Fantastic helps with watching as well 👍

Great video. Able to do some exercise but my fingers are still very swollen. I will keep up and do this daily. Glad I found your video.

[@rosemarytranquilli5784]

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

[@karmamrak]

Grateful! These helped with immediate overnight issue! 3-5 really did the trick!

Thank you mam for this exercise ☺️

Thank you very much from Greece.

[@janestewart7196]

first week at work after the removal of my cast - Colles fracture or as some of my medical friends call it the Dinner Fork break and am finding your videos so useful. Will update at the end of the week 😃... Thank you VHC

[@DoMathswithDurkio]

Thank you. just reached 7 week and 1 day after k9 left wrist surgery and it is 4 days after removing the wires. And those exercises really helped me all of them since I need mobility in all. Thank you.

[@MsBurro313]

excellent video. Many thanks!

[@VirtualHandCare]

You are welcome!

[@crravindranath883]

Thank you. All 5 excercises are very good .

[@VirtualHandCare]

Great! 👍

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

Thanks !

[@kikiday2102]

Excellent! I could do these without the pain I have at OT using the net press and hand presses which put too much pressure on the top of my hand and kept me from loosening up the wrist properly due to discomfort. Love the traction pull prior to the last press. Love the active rather than passive stretches. Loved the tip on not flexing and extending in the same series before measurements. Trying to get "catch" back (swimming). Warm up exercise perfect for wake up with swelling mornings. Thank you! (DRF volar plate, 71, master's swimmer/ballet dancer).

[@manjusagar733]

Mdm, Thanks for your information. 🙏🙏

[@user-ic4rz6kn1b]

THANK YOU! I cant go to PT so doing this at home helps me alot! you are very instructive!!

[@Brandon_Thomas]

Definitely helped

[@deliabottoms285]

These are very helpful and I have added this video to my playlist. My radius bone was cracked rather than broken, so no surgery was needed. But I still required a cast. I just had it removed yesterday, and was given a soft small brace which is really more of a reminder than an actual support so that I won't lift anything heavy using my right hand or at least another two weeks. Then I will start PT. But I felt a stiffness was not comfortable . These gentle stretches have been very helpful with removing the stiffness. I am using them along with another series of exercises for the fingers called the six pack. Thank you for this demo!

[@niranjanpatra7432]

Very important and useful exercises I'm practising daily by the help of your youtube channels. Thanks mam

[@inderjitsingh4922]

Hi I found these exercises very useful specially the last one which gives proper movement to wrist.

[@Ahmadali-ku7lp]

شكرآ لك دكتور

[@naomifenton2159]

Thanks so much for showing the wrist exercises they are really helping me just had my cast removed on Wednesday 💕💕

[@Nath4200]

Wow! I broke my wrist over a year ago and knew I needed to do some more excercises especially since I'm back on the mountain bike and its still not very strong nor flexible. I have noticably more flexion after one, yes ONE run through this video. A little painful at the time but feels great after. Thank you so much!

[@zouzoumahdjoub2703]

Merci Dr

[@Noaleh3]

I love your warm up exercise it’s feels so good and the rest was Moto Island but I know I am in right path . Thank you so much, you’re amazing 🙏🙏🙏

You're so welcome!

[@Jeff-lr1by]

I heard a snap when I was taking out my motorbike on my right hand last November followed up by my left hand on this year January. I took CT scans as per my doc and everything was fine. My right hand was in a cast for a month which was taken out. I am still under bearable pain in both wrists although its reduced over time now. I just started doing the exercises in your video. Pray to god it fixes my wrist issues! Thank you for this!

[@susanstebila8707]

Thanks they are all helpful ❤
