WRIST REHAB — If you’re dealing with a wrist injury, the first thing you want to do is modify aggravating activities. If push-ups are painful secondary to loading the wrist into extension, it’s likely beneficial to find a way to perform push-ups using a neutral grip. If that’s also painful, swapping for a non weightbearing movement like a cable fly may be more appropriate temporarily. — Assuming there’s no reason you cannot begin loading the wrist, starting with isometrics to regain function is a great place to start. If you cannot tolerate loading in a fairly neutral position, it may be difficult to explore other loaded ranges of motion. — 1️⃣Isometric Wrist Flexion: The weight is pulling your wrist into extension so your flexors must resist the movement. 2️⃣Isometric Wrist Extension: The weight is pulling your wrist into flexion so your extensors must resist the movement. 3️⃣Isometric Radial Deviation: The weight is pulling your wrist into ulnar deviation so your radial deviators must resist the movement. 4️⃣Isometric Pronation: The bar is pulling your wrist into supination (end range) so your pronators must resist the movement. 5️⃣Isometric Supination: The bar is pulling your wrist into pronation (end range) so your supinators must resist the movement. 6️⃣Isometric Load: All muscles act to stabilize the wrist while it’s being loaded longitudinally. —
