- 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!
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
Ma'am, how are you? My wrist is broken and it's been four months now. It's still swollen.
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........
Yes GOD will reward you with blessing cause you’re helping injured people to recover . We all love you and appreciate you 🙏
@@soniahofmann4969 research on hot compress to reduce swelling, I believe you do it before exercise
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!!!
How's it going now? Did the exercises work?
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!!
All 5 are my favorites. They're so helpful and unlike others I've come across online.
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!
Thank you - so happy to find your channel!
Your videos are so helpful,healing and enjoyable.I definitely see the difference daily in my wrist mobility.
Thank you for the exercises. I have been using all your exercises and have been pleased with the success.
Thank you so much for theses exercises! I’m only 3 weeks post op, but very beneficial 🥰
Thank you! I am hooked on watching your wrist exercises. This is the 2nd time hurting my wrists and your videos have helped the most. Thanks again
Yes they worked really well ☺️ all of them are helping me. Thank you so much!!
All helpful! Thanks for allyour tips and your great teaching style.
Great Michelle! just I needed
You’re an angel 😇 Your exercises and advice helping me a lot with my right forearm - radial head/ neck hairline fracture. Thank you 🙏
I really think this is going to help. I appreciate these videos very much. Thank you! 😊
WOW all these really gave me a better look on how these exercises can be helpful. definitely going to do this throughout the day. thanks for the exercises.
Thank you so much Michelle. I broke my wrist in Aug 23 and dilligently followed your many videos. I didnt undergo surgery but after 2 months in cast, I had recovered very well to remove the cast and was back playing badminton! Thank you so very much.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for your great information
Omg I’ve been having some wrist pain and these helped so much! Thank you❤
Thank u for the vedeo Michelle. They are so helpful and useful . God bless u Michelle .
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).
Wow - you are sooo kind and compassionate. I have been soo discouraged with my hand specialist….no empathy. Thank you for the great tips.
Excellent video. I will follow your exercises besides my Pt. Your voice and pace is great. Thanks
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
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.
Thanks the best i have seen, has helped me recover my normal hand movment
Thank you so much for this video
Oh thank you so much. I feel so happy that I found you. I love you excited just yesterday they took my cast off and I know you will be my therapy. I love it. I already practiced audio exercise. I’m so stiff, but I know that drop by drop create a movement.
🙏🙏🙏
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!
Thank you so much. Your physio exercises for my wrist have been great I broke my wrist just before Xmas had it in a cast for 5 weeks now in a splint
Thank you. This is something I can actually do and I find it very helpful.
Grateful! These helped with immediate overnight issue! 3-5 really did the trick!
This video has been great, helpful indeed. Thanks
One of the better self rehab videos, worth watching and good techniques
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
I’m 4 weeks out from my surgery and have a appointment tomorrow and will start P/T. These are very helpful!
Very helpful, all of them. The injured wrist felt particularly good after exercise no.5.
Straight to the exercises needed. Thank you!
THANK YOU! I cant go to PT so doing this at home helps me alot! you are very instructive!!
The slow movements and gentle massage works for me. Thank you
Thank you for your video on exercises on fractured wrist.i really like the arm exercises
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.
Tonnes of thanks ... these movements have helped me a lot
Your videos are really helping as I had broken my wrist
Very helpful wrist flexion exercises! Thank you very much! 🙏
Thanks so much for showing the wrist exercises they are really helping me just had my cast removed on Wednesday
💕💕
Very important and useful exercises I'm practising daily by the help of your youtube channels. Thanks mam
Thank you very much. This exercise help me a lot. God bles you.
Last exercise was best for me! Recovering from sprain and dislocated pinky. It is a long process! Love your channel.
Love this. Best 4 and 5. I'd reached a plateau. Now back to hoping for 100% healing. Thank you. 😁😀😃😁😄
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
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~
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!
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
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.
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!
Thanks a lot, I'm on my week 6 after wrist surgery, with stiffness and pain. By doing these exercises, I got relief from pain and hand feels great. Thanks so much 🙏🙏
Thank you so much, I have been plasterless 12 days now and struggling with mu wrest issues. It was helpful.
Thank you very much from Greece.
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 🙏🙏🙏
I had forearm surgery and need wrist and hand strengthening your exercises are helping. Thank you
These are some of my favorite!
Grazie per il video🙏e complimenti per la spiegazione e la simpatia🔝
Thanks so much great moves the last one really helped
Currently under recuperation after wrist fracture and finding this video very useful.. thanks a lot ❤
Hi
I found these exercises very useful specially the last one which gives proper movement to wrist.
In addition to some great teaching and exercises, I also liked your choice in clothing - a basic black top, non-distracting, and allowed me to focus on the exercises you were teaching. Very professional and added to my learning. Thank you again.
Virtual Hand Care i just have recently compound fracture broke my radius distal,ulna and dislocate elbow its been a month i have plate on my forearm and my elbow. .i am on therapy 3 times week i found your video very helpful I have stiffness on fingers every morning or in the middle of the night.
Thank you so much, Michelle. Love from Venezuela
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!
I'm so glad they are helpful! Your body is definitely telling you it's not time to be done. 👍
Thank you so much! All of these exercises are great, just got my cast off 3 days ago :)
thank you so much for this video
I am really pleased to find these exercises after breaking my right wrist 4 weeks ago then tripping and breaking my left wrist a week ago my doctor decided to cut off my right plaster leaving my right wrist very tight, sore and vulnerable..I'm a yoga teacher so feeling panicked at such a stiff wrist .
I will be practising these exercises and already feel more confident .
I had my cast off my wrist break yesterday, I am looking forward to trying your exercises as it is my main hand, I have such a frustration in not being able to do the simplest things.
thanks this is wonderful. you. have helped me a lot
I just had my cast off today but I am no stranger to rehabilitation after injury, and I know from experience that starting early improves and speeds results overall. (Within reason, not looking to run a marathon on day one.) Just a few of your videos have been super beneficial. I had a fairly short cast with good finger motion, but the wrist is stiff as a board and being able to massage and incrementally stretch the wrist has been very helpful, I can see the results already. Heat and massage, never would have thought of their benefit yesterday when the cast was still on but they've made all the difference today. Thanks so much. The muscles and tendons in the back of my hand can't thank you enough.
Thankyou this has really helped push more flexión after fracture and orif, especially exercises 4-5 I hadn't been doing really helped loosen up the flexors and carpals ❤
YOUR VEDIO IMPRESSED ME A LOT AND AS RECENTLY 2MONTHS BACK I MET WITH AN ACCIDENT AND GOT LEFT ARM WRIST FRACTURED,BUT THANK GOD YOUR VEDIO HELPS ME A LOT GOD BLESS YOU
Thanks it is very helpful
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!
You are wonderful….Thank you
I'm 9 days out of surgery for a plate in my broken wrist. The hospital (UK) took my cast off yesterday and gave me a support sleeve and a page of exercises. I tried to do the exercises today, but can't manage any of them because they all involve stretching the fingers, which is too painful. I came across this channel, and the exercises on here are so much more helpful. It helps to have someone explaining how to do them properly as you go along. Thank you so much.
Hi ,using your exercises to complement the physio at hospital .Broke Radius and wrist just over two months ago , can see improvement . Thank you
Very helpful 👌 Thank you
Fantastic helps with watching as well 👍
Thanks God these excercises are great. Easy to do the results are very good.👍🌷
Excellent.
I’m so grateful I found you! 3 weeks and doing so much better
So happy to hear this! Keep it up 👍
Just had my cast removed after 6 weeks- fractured radius. You videos are very helpful! I was timid to move due to swelling- your encouragement helped as well as your pacing to do exercises with you. Thank you!
I am a cellist- vety keen to get back to making music!
Your exercises are much better then my hand therapist thank you so much
I've broken both wrists from a motorcycle accident and had surgery on both my wrists are full of metal and very stiff I appreciate your videos and I will keep trying your exercises and hope for the best! Thanks
Excellent! Thank u!
I'm finding all these exercises very helpful. Thanks so much for the videos!
You're so welcome!
I just came out of my cast today, had broke my ulnar n my radius, thank you for sharing this video was very helpful❤
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
Just removed my cast today and really found this video helpful, thank you!
All great exercises, my fingers and wrist are really stiff in the mornings. This really helps.
Thanks For Exercise Good Advice.
Thank you for providing these, they are so helpful. I will let you know how it works. 😊
Please do!
Awesome video!
All the exercises were great. Even when you said don't pull to hard on the last stretch it was exactly when I was pulling to hard. Good cautionary note.
Thanks for the intel🤙
Glad you liked it!
