Question for any physiotherapist

[Symbol]

I've had a very weak wrist ever since I broke 2 bones in my right wrist about 7 years ago. I wanted to know if there's some type of exercise or weight lifting in which I can do to strengthen it. I get popping sounds when I'm using a knife for cooking and have had to go back to wearing my brace.

Anything that can help would be appreciated.

I'm not a fan of weights and believe stretching ect gives better results and both strengthens and loosens ligament/muscle

I have both bookmarked, and as for better than the alternative, any new knowledge is much more than I had before. Believe me when I say, I will be doing the exercises tonight and on a daily basis. I don't want my wrist to get to the point that strumming my guitar becomes bothersome.

The first question that I'd ask you in regards to your physical therapy is whether or not your women have their ankles covered.

LOL You know that Heli would never do that, she's the boss.

I'm not a physio but the following have been used for wrist strengthening/recovery

(1) Stretch - use the other hand to bend your hand back with a straight arm
(2) Squeeze a rubber ball, or tennis ball
(3) Use a small dumbell (or can of soup), perform wrist extensions (palm down) and wrist flexions (palm up)

Thank you, will give it a try.
