Wrist Rehab and increasing Grip Strength

The following wrist strengthening exercises are designed to improve strength of the muscles of the wrist and hand. You should discuss the suitability of these exercises with your physiotherapist prior to beginning them. Generally, they should only be performed provided they do not cause or increase pain.

Begin with the basic wrist strengthening exercise. Once this is too easy, add the intermediate wrist strengthening exercises. As your strength improves, the advanced exercises can then be added to the intermediate program.

Wrist Strengthening – Basic Exercises

To begin with, the following basic wrist strengthening exercise should be performed approximately 10 times, 3 times daily. As your wrist strength improves, the exercise can be progressed by gradually increasing the repetitions and strength of contraction provided it does not cause or increase pain.

Squeeze Tennis Ball

Begin this wrist strengthening exercise holding a tennis ball (figure 1). Squeeze the tennis ball as hard as possible and comfortable without pain. Hold for 5 seconds and repeat 10 times.

The following intermediate wrist strengthening exercises should generally be performed 1 - 3 times per week provided they do not cause or increase pain. Ideally they should not be performed on consecutive days, to allow muscle recovery. As your wrist strength improves, the exercises can be progressed by gradually increasing the repetitions, number of sets or resistance, provided they do not cause or increase pain.

Wrist Flexion vs. Resistance Band

Begin this wrist strengthening exercise with a resistance band around your fingers, your palm facing up as demonstrated (figure 2). Your elbow should be at your side and bent to 90 degrees, your forearm supported by your other hand. Slowly curl your wrist and fingers up against the resistance band tightening your hand and forearm muscles . Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions as far as possible and comfortable without pain.

Bodybuilding shoulder Rehab

The answer is calf machine shrugs!

t's very important to maintain proper form and perfect posture for this exercise, so keep your abdominals braced with a neutral spine to dissipate some of the weight from your back and onto your slightly bent legs. Also, keep the chest up and head straight - not poked forward!

Aim for full range of motion with your shoulders. Go as high as you can at the top, and get a good stretch at the bottom. Visualize Q-tips attached to your shoulders on an angle, and then try to poke out your eardrums.

When you've finished this and any other exercise that causes spinal compression, i.e. squats or military presses, try hanging on a chin-up bar for a while at the end of your workout. This will help increase the intervertebral space of your spine and instantly add a foot to your height. Caught your attention? Okay, maybe not a foot, but it'll help.
