Step by Step

  1. If you need to improve the general range of movement in your wrists then this is an excellent group of exercises
  2. Remember these exercises should be pain free during after and the next day. The most that you should feel is a strong stretch sensation
  3. Each exercise should be held for 20-30 seconds at the end of range and you should aim to perform all of these exercises between 4 to 6 times per day
  4. Flexion
  5. With your elbow straight and your hand palm facing down, bend your wrist so that your fingers point towards the floor, use your opposite hand to apply extra stretch
  6. Extension
  7. With your elbow straight and your hand palm facing up, extend your wrist so that your fingers point towards the floor, use your opposite hand to apply extra stretch
  8. Radial and ulnar deviation
  9. With your arms by your side and your elbows bend at 90 degrees, interlink your finger in front of you with your thumbs on the top. Now move your wrist so that your little finger is closer to the floor and hold. Next move your wrist so that your thumb is closer to the ceiling and hold
  10. Pronation and Supination
  11. With your arms by your side and your elbows bend at 90 degrees, interlink your finger in front of you with your thumbs on the top. Now twist your hands so that your thumbs are pointing to the right and hold and then twist until they are pointing to the left and hold

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
