I found these exercises very helpful easy to understand and very well demonstrated- it helps as I am 7 weeks since wrist plate operation- Thank you Michelle .
You're an angel. May God bless you for offering these videos! So helpful especially due to painful radial wrist breakage and trying to supinate my arm.
Michelle, thank you for your videos! You have helped me more than my sessions of therapy. I had a fracture of the ulnar styloid and your exercises for supination are so effective. I followed also the extension exercises and it makes so much more sense to not go directly into flexion as my therapist suggested. It was so uncomfortable and was making little progress. Just by allowing the stretches to go deeper in extension I made significant progress with less pain. Your explanations are so good in how the forearm is moving and how the exercises should be done. So very helpful!🙏
Thanks so much. Do your exercises every day and have found it’s bee helping lots I have been wearing a splint which I find helps As the consultant said it will take 3 months to completely recover Also as I love to exercise so have just been doing online exercises but obviously can’t do any push ups ❤️
Wow, I came across your videos two months after fracturing both my distal radius and ulna styloid. I have a plate and eight screws and have been in constant pain. I've been in therapy for one month going twice a week and these videos have helped more than therapy. I was at a negative degree at supination after my cast came off, but with your help it has improved drastically. I also need improvement on flexing up and down. I have saved all your videos and will add them to my daily routine. THANK YOU!
Thank you forever grateful.fractured my left ulna bone and wrist.these exercises are awesome. Trying to work my arm so I can go back to work .I work as a stna.these will get me back with confidence. Thanks again
Thank you for this video. Radial head implant recovery journey here. So hard to see my dominant hand not doing what it used to 😵💫 will integrate these into my daily arm routine.
Thank you so much! I don't know what is my "reason" for a reduced lef forearm mobility, but I am 36 and it just has always been like this, I think... Now I am in some sort of "self-improvement year", so I am trying to work on that too. The tips about the marker, finger relaxation, muscle relaxation and doing the passive movements from the forearm and not the wrist are actually helping a lot... Thanks again...
You sure have helped me when I was not able to get much help or attention at all from the physical therapist. Your exercises are helping me enormously and some of my fear of ever bringing my hand and wrist movement back has been relieved. It was scary after breaking my distal radious and having 3 months of pain. It is improving finally.
Thank u Ma’am I m learning a great deal from ur videos when I exercise, the opposite side of radius on the little finger side I get pain but ur advice re using tape or band sounds very helpful I m going to try this and c how the pain is u r an excellent Physiotherapist 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! Great video! I broke my radius on new year's eve- ulna popped through the skin and columnated radius. Got the volar plate and 11 screws. doing pretty well with rehab and getting better supination but not 100% (doc said it was a bad break and i might not get too 100 anyway) but that's getting better and there's been some helpful ideas in this video as well.
Great exercises, thank you! I'm gonna try them all when I'm allowed to force the rotation with the other hand. 6 weeks after surgery, radius fracture and ulna is dislocated, TFCC repaired.
I really appreciate your video's. You explain so well and I find your exercises both doable and effective. Having broken both the radius and ulna and now suffering from shoulder pain due to repetitive stress from marking exam papers, your advice on supination and pronation of the forearm, appears to be the answer to my woes. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you and your approach.
That's a really informative video.. I had a terrible triad injury, 1 month post surgery, supination really limited. Physio didn't give a lot of info on this...right now I'm really depressed, fearful of the prospect of a repeat surgery. Thanks a ton
I broke my wrist this past season snowboarding. The bone "healed" on the wrong way and had to get surgery for it. I have a plate and screws on my radius. My doctor told me that I most likely would never get Supination back. However, I could definitely feel the difference after just one session with your exercises. I'm truly thankful.
Thank you so much Michelle virtual hand care for this information and exercises, you are doing a great job, I am 4 weeks down with a bike skid resulting in left forearm radius and ulna fracture followed by a surgery and implants of plates and screws in both the bones, quite painful, but I am recovering, I was having a lot of problem in forearm movements, but your videos are really helping me , n have reduced the pain which i used to get during supination, still I am not able to rotate it completely, but I am hopeful to get there, thank u so much for these exercises
2am very tired of my tendonitis pain in my wrists especially on my recent fracture these are absolutely immaculate. Lol will be adding pencil grip techniques to every lift I do in the gym when I’m healed. Your forearm stretches make me feel like the incredible hulk.
Thsnk you for such important and information ,explaining the super and deviation. I think i only have about 40% can not even hold water in my palm.Yet i am trying the exercisess
Thanks for providing this well explained insight. My supination of 45 degrees (as measured by a physiotherapist) plays havoc with trying to play barre chords on guitar. I'll now focus on stretching the muscles (etc) around my radius.
Thank you for your video's. I am so glad I found them and you have helped me immensely. I broke my radius. With your excellent instruction I have improved my range of motion.
Colles fracture 6 weeks ago and searching youtube for helpful tips. You are by far the best and most descriptive, while not being boring/monotone or too quirky and "funny". I appreciate your tips on working through supination as I'm putting together that would be the first movement to work on. Thanks!
Thank you. So much! I broke both ulna and radius. I was only getting 50% rotation . Now, thanks to watching you , I have 75% rotation and able to play golf again.
@@terriecollins5445 ah i see mam . im glad u improve the rotation i will try tht once my cast remove. i hve also 3 plates and 16 srews is that ok to have that for a period of time.
NIce. Thank you. I added guitar to my piano skills 60 years ago. Easy piano playing for me. But supination of the guitar neck forearm is very limited. I developed workarounds, including "thumb chords" and working with open tunings to create surprises where I just can't do normal professional fingerings. I'm now 72 and it's supposed to be "too late" to do anything about it medically. But again today--flying over a guitar neck but crashing unnecessarily into the problem out at the end of the runway---here I am, looking some idea to improve my range. I will try your exercises
What would I ever do without you?!?!?! After a wrist fracture with a very complex healing process you have been my absolute savior from the very beginning. Even after going to ordered occupational therapy sessions, I much preferred following your videos because they are so much more specific and useful and extremely well explained. I never feel silly or confused with you. You have increased my ROM more than anyone could. While I have not been able to supinate for over 3 months... I am finally seeing some results following your videos.. especially this one above. I can't ever thank you enough!
Could you please share your story here? I broke my radius and Ulna and have plates on both the bones. It's been 2 weeks since the slab is off and I can hardly supinate 25%.(it was 15% after week 1 so definitely some improvement) I've been doing PT sessions 4-5 days a week. But progress is very very slow and it's hampering my daily activities as I can hardly supinate
This is great. I had a radial fracture and double ulnar fracture, You described axactly where the pain is in trying supination. I will exercise these every day. THANK YOU
Thanks for posting very interactive video explaing in details. I got surgery of wrist 21 days back and doctor suggested for giving movement to wrist, for which your post is realy great. Can you suggest what is expected time to recover from this atleast for my daily needs. Keep doing good job.
Holy crap thanks so much! I really needed this. When I was around 11 years old I ended up breaking my wrist due to me attempting to preform a "backflip" off a swing set. I ended up fracturing my left elbow, which casting led to me only gaining around 60% supination and 100% pronation. This was horrible for me, as I played guitar frequently at the time and could not play most of the notes on the fret-board. Thanks to you, I am now able to resume my 90% supination and am able to play all the notes on my guitar without problem!
Thank you so much! I had Scapholunate reconstruction surgery and working on these exercises! You are helping me so much! Can you let me know what tape to use and how to use it? Thank you again!
Michelle, you are a game changer. Thank you so much for your thoughtful, helpful, and instructive videos. I had two plates put in my right (dominant) wrist on Friday, June 9, 2023 after a violent fall a couple weeks ago while hiking. My surgeon wanted me to work on light pronation and supination the day after surgery. It has been difficult, but your pillowcase exercise from another video plus these 5 have helped me so much with minimal pain. Your videos on finger movement while in a splint had me making a full fist before surgery which expedited post surgery recovery. I am 5 days removed from my surgery and I am literally touch typing this comment on a keyboard while in my post surgery splint. You really make a difference and your detailed explanations down to the bone level is beyond helpful. I don’t know how to praise you enough.
I love your videos. Thanks so much. I broke my wrist in November and was in a cast. I have tried physical therapy but with little success. Do you have any videos showing how to use a stack of plastic cups to help improve forearm rotation? Is that a good exercise?
Thank you so much. I had fracture both radius and ulna before 6wks. Operated for it. After doing exercise given by you my wrist is fully recovered. Thank you so much. You are doing good job.
This is super helpful. My fingers and wrist and all the way up to my deltoid have been so stiff and sore. My rotation has been minimal. I thought this was something I would have to adapt to (live with) instead of fix. Now I feel hopeful. Thanks!
Hows your wrist now mate? Could you please share your story here? I broke my radius and Ulna and have plates on both the bones. It's been 2 weeks since the slab is off and I can hardly supinate 25%.(it was 15% after week 1 so definitely some improvement) I've been doing PT sessions 4-5 days a week. But progress is very very slow and it's hampering my daily activities as I can hardly supinate
Thank you for posting this video. I’m in the UK and Im 4 weeks post radial head fracture. My physiotherapy consists of a 2 phone calls so far which needless to say aren’t helping much. I’m following your exercises so thank you so much 😊
does it improve supination and pronation movement ?Before 3.5 month i had radial head fracture and ulna fracture , after 35 sessions of therapy , only 20 -25% supination and pronation still pending , plz explain your experience
sorry that this is an old video. but I have been trying to get more supenation on my left hand. and then when i found your video. it made me want to try practicing using your exercises. thank you so much!!! it means so much to to me that it helped me a lot by learning from you. and to be honest with you. i played golf and for years i always wanted to change my grip to a neutral or weak grip. but my anatomy is forcing me to be on its own. but then after those exercises. with work everything changed. I'm still working on it right now but i know it really works for me something simple. again thank you so much!!!! I also have one question my right hand does the opposite it supenates way to much and i want to pronate it more should i work on the right fore arm more while i keep working on my left fore arm to supenate more.
I just want to say THANK YOU, I broke my arm five months ago & recently came across this video a few days ago, I wish I’d a found it a few months ago but now have my full motion back in my arm. Just working on getting my strength back now, you’re Godsend
Thank you so much for this lecture. Actually this PT video is easy to understand 'supination' and 'pronation'. Because I couldn't catch the difference of the movement of our body when I only read and watch illustrations of a textbook I used in my school. Very many thanks again.
Thank you for explaining about the pain and stiffness, it's been a month out of the cast and have only had two 30 minutes physio sessions. I don't feel I am getting anywhere. But now I have found your channel, I am more hopeful. I was beginning to think that I would not be able to work again. My accident was almost 3 months ago, and my last plaster was on for 5 weeks but too tight, so was in a lot of pain. Thank you for the video.
Wow, Im 7 weeks after colles fracture, got 9 screws and a plate, and that exercise with muscle massage and radius twisting basically brought my ratotion back in one session, amazing. Thank you very much for your work 🙏
Me too.. Ive got the same fracture but ive got a plate upper and lower and 18 screws holding my radius together.. The exercises I've watched on her videos are amazing.. Ive gotten more movement from watching the vids than I got from my physio ay hospital..
Hi Michelle My name is Lina - I found your videos on You Tube and I wanted to thank you for the great information and reassuring commentary which I value during my distal radius fracture recovery ( injury almost 9 weeks ago) I was able to avoid surgery but boy the stiffness associated with supination is a challenge due to ongoing swelling) - other functionality is coming back nicely and faster so far - will keep working on it and keep patient as well! best wishes from Toronto Canada
spiral humerus fracture 7weeks on. tried physio 3weeks ago, omg I nearly passed out wrist pain. stopped doing now hand frozen. elbow stuck 45deg. doctor said I need to start up he actually got some movement. you've explained the pain was from ulna. am gonna retry. still got brace on for another six weeks. think I'll get a wrist brace. big thanks
this was awesome. I learned a lot i was doing some supination with my arm outstretched and wondered why i was feeling it in my shoulder....and you told me why! I won’t do it that way any longer as i have a bum right shoulder and a bum left forearm from physical labor! i subscribed.
Feel so fortunate to find these awesome techniques within one week of cast removal. I hear this is a difficult challenge for a colles fracture. Now I have some ammunition. Excellent!!! Love your hand videos too . They have helped SO much. Thank you !
Thanks so much! You were really clear and that helped a lot. Thanks for explaining that the ulna doesn't move, but the radius does. My therapist didn't tell me that. Also, grateful that i can do some of these things while watching tv or walking. Helps a lot.
same here re not being told about ulna. I was trying to rotate it all. excruciating pain. I stopped all physio waiting for a x-ray, I thought I'd broken something. back at hospital and surgeon very strict telling me I need to seriously move everything or I'll end up with permanent disability.
Thank you so much. It helped me a lot. Both my ulna and radius were broken. I had a surgry for radius frantıre. I could not do supınation proporly. Especially the ball exercise helped me a lot.
Hello, I have been watching your videos and listening to some of the tips and suggestions that you give. I fell and broke my radius and ulna in the end of February. I am nearly done with a month of PT. I find your information helpful and reassuring to know that I am doing a particular exercise properly and then finding additional ones to support my recovery. Thanks for sharing these!
Very nice. Really helping me now when my wrist got twisted in an accident. I'm feeling better by these exercises. You detailed explanation is awesome. Keep it up.

@@sushilsalins3576 Hello sir! Thank God that you're doing better now. Be persistent in suggested exercises and don't force out of proportion. Body will heal in due course of time. I know it's very very challenging but with strong will and regular daily care you will get better very soon. I was practicing regularly and also tried hot and cold compression of water. Applied Dr. Ortho oil as well. Eucalyptus oil also helped. Only thing is that daily push your limits with great love and care. It took almost 3 months plus to fully recover from pain. Everyone has different situation but whatever it may be I'm sure that you'll do better.
Broke my wrist (radius) 4 weeks ago and had surgery with 2 screws. They removed the cast yersterday along with the screws. I thought i would be able play golf and soccer today... little did i know 😫 but this has def helped me just in these 2 days.🎉
Thank you so much! I suffered a Colles fracture to my dominant arm in October with subsequent ORIF. I’ve been in hand therapy and I cannot supinate. I am so very frustrated. I don’t want to go back to work until I can at least hold something in my hand, turn a door handle and eat properly with a fork. I fractured my left wrist in 2002 and was never able to fully supinate that hand, but I was able to cope because I still had my right one to take my meds and receive change. You’ve given me some hope.
I'm 6 to 7 weeks post fracture and dislocation, this video has given me lots of hope and definitely an improvement on what I'm currently doing. Thank you so much!

@@sushilsalins3576 I broke my radius and ulna was dislocated. It took 3 weeks before I got surgery and now 6 weeks after surgery I am allowed to rotate my forearm but I can't move it much, it's blocked. 10-15 degrees is what I can do and it's a bit frustrating but I see slow progress. I should rotate and hold it there for 5 sec, 3 times a day and after 2 weeks 5 times a day and it shouldn't hurt very much, max 5 of 10 where 10 is very painful. I can't bend my wrist very much either, about 30 degrees. How are you doing now?
I broke my ulna and radius a month ago. Will get into the 3rd session of OCCT. Still cannot rotate my arm and my fingers are 70% stiff. Watching your video make me excited to do exercise at home. Thank you.

@@sushilsalins3576 bro don't lose hope do PT regularly. Because I had broken my both forearm bones in both hand . After three months I can supinate my both hands .. physio only helped me i tried myself for more than one week but I can't see progress so I requested PTs to come to my home and he did it regularly now i am ok with both hands .Now am going for ligament physiotherapy. You will be better soon bro
Hey I'm currently 2 months in recovery from terrible triad elbow injury, pronation and supernation has been very stiff, your video really improved my supernation will implement these exercises with my other physio program thank you! :)

@@sushilsalins3576 hey it’s been 19 months since my accident, i fell of my bike and dislocated my elbow, fractured my coronoid and radial head plus tore my ulna ligament. Recovery was very challenging and a horrible experience. Since then I have lost around 30% of my ROM that I can’t seem to get back.
@@barryscowen I have the same injury - which motions in particular are you struggling with? Have you tried wearing a static progressive splint? I'm still trying to get my flexion, pronation and supination ROM back.
@@AdityaKhuller I would say I’ve lost 15% on pronation and supernation. Flextion and extension I’ve lost around 25% each. I haven’t tried one of those no one has recommended it to me. Doctors just said that I would lose some range.

Thank you so much! I had Scapholunate reconstruction surgery and working on these exercises! You are helping me so much! Can you let me know what tape to use and how to use it? Thank you again!
Michelle, you are a game changer. Thank you so much for your thoughtful, helpful, and instructive videos. I had two plates put in my right (dominant) wrist on Friday, June 9, 2023 after a violent fall a couple weeks ago while hiking. My surgeon wanted me to work on light pronation and supination the day after surgery. It has been difficult, but your pillowcase exercise from another video plus these 5 have helped me so much with minimal pain. Your videos on finger movement while in a splint had me making a full fist before surgery which expedited post surgery recovery. I am 5 days removed from my surgery and I am literally touch typing this comment on a keyboard while in my post surgery splint. You really make a difference and your detailed explanations down to the bone level is beyond helpful. I don’t know how to praise you enough.
I am thrilled to hear my videos are helping you! Keep up the great work and sending you lots of strength on your recovery journey!
I love your videos. Thanks so much. I broke my wrist in November and was in a cast. I have tried physical therapy but with little success. Do you have any videos showing how to use a stack of plastic cups to help improve forearm rotation? Is that a good exercise?
Thank you so much. I had fracture both radius and ulna before 6wks. Operated for it. After doing exercise given by you my wrist is fully recovered. Thank you so much. You are doing good job.
Wonderfl! Glad the exercises have helped! 🙏
This is super helpful. My fingers and wrist and all the way up to my deltoid have been so stiff and sore. My rotation has been minimal. I thought this was something I would have to adapt to (live with) instead of fix. Now I feel hopeful. Thanks!
Hows your wrist now mate?
Could you please share your story here? I broke my radius and Ulna and have plates on both the bones. It's been 2 weeks since the slab is off and I can hardly supinate 25%.(it was 15% after week 1 so definitely some improvement) I've been doing PT sessions 4-5 days a week. But progress is very very slow and it's hampering my daily activities as I can hardly supinate
Just got my cast off yesterday after 8 weeks , my wrist is killing me ..this gives me hope ! TY
Thank you for posting this video. I’m in the UK and Im 4 weeks post radial head fracture. My physiotherapy consists of a 2 phone calls so far which needless to say aren’t helping much. I’m following your exercises so thank you so much 😊
does it improve supination and pronation movement ?Before 3.5 month i had radial head fracture and ulna fracture , after 35 sessions of therapy , only 20 -25% supination and pronation still pending , plz explain your experience
Its helpful
sorry that this is an old video. but I have been trying to get more supenation on my left hand. and then when i found your video. it made me want to try practicing using your exercises. thank you so much!!! it means so much to to me that it helped me a lot by learning from you. and to be honest with you. i played golf and for years i always wanted to change my grip to a neutral or weak grip. but my anatomy is forcing me to be on its own. but then after those exercises. with work everything changed. I'm still working on it right now but i know it really works for me something simple. again thank you so much!!!!
I also have one question my right hand does the opposite it supenates way to much and i want to pronate it more should i work on the right fore arm more while i keep working on my left fore arm to supenate more.
I just want to say THANK YOU, I broke my arm five months ago & recently came across this video a few days ago, I wish I’d a found it a few months ago but now have my full motion back in my arm. Just working on getting my strength back now, you’re Godsend
How long after you started these exercises did you get full motion ?
Thank you so much for this lecture. Actually this PT video is easy to understand 'supination' and 'pronation'. Because I couldn't catch the difference of the movement of our body when I only read and watch illustrations of a textbook I used in my school. Very many thanks again.
You are very welcome! Happy to help you understand the differences better!
Thank you for explaining about the pain and stiffness, it's been a month out of the cast and have only had two 30 minutes physio sessions.
I don't feel I am getting anywhere.
But now I have found your channel, I am more hopeful.
I was beginning to think that I would not be able to work again.
My accident was almost 3 months ago, and my last plaster was on for 5 weeks but too tight, so was in a lot of pain.
Thank you for the video.
You are welcome! Best of luck on your recovery! 🙏
Wow, Im 7 weeks after colles fracture, got 9 screws and a plate, and that exercise with muscle massage and radius twisting basically brought my ratotion back in one session, amazing.
Thank you very much for your work 🙏
Me too.. Ive got the same fracture but ive got a plate upper and lower and 18 screws holding my radius together.. The exercises I've watched on her videos are amazing.. Ive gotten more movement from watching the vids than I got from my physio ay hospital..
❤❤❤❤da si mina mea este strinba dupa fractura si nustiu cu cum sa fac ca sa nu fac mai rau. Va multumesc din suflet.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Dr. Thanks for all the tips for all. I have a question please give me me. I can't hold fast to anything right now is this video please ???
Tks👌
Hi Michelle My name is Lina - I found your videos on You Tube and I wanted to thank you for the great information and reassuring commentary which I value during my distal radius fracture recovery ( injury almost 9 weeks ago) I was able to avoid surgery but boy the stiffness associated with supination is a challenge due to ongoing swelling) - other functionality is coming back nicely and faster so far - will keep working on it and keep patient as well! best wishes from Toronto Canada
R u able to supinate now?
spiral humerus fracture 7weeks on. tried physio 3weeks ago, omg I nearly passed out wrist pain. stopped doing now hand frozen. elbow stuck 45deg. doctor said I need to start up he actually got some movement. you've explained the pain was from ulna. am gonna retry. still got brace on for another six weeks. think I'll get a wrist brace. big thanks
this was awesome. I learned a lot i was doing some supination with my arm outstretched and wondered why i was feeling it in my shoulder....and you told me why! I won’t do it that way any longer as i have a bum right shoulder and a bum left forearm from physical labor! i subscribed.
Yes, our shoulder does like to compensate! Thank you for subscribing! Glad to hear this helped you!
Feel so fortunate to find these awesome techniques within one week of cast removal. I hear this is a difficult challenge for a colles fracture. Now I have some ammunition. Excellent!!! Love your hand videos too . They have helped SO much. Thank you !
You are welcome! Sending well wishes on your road to recovery!
Thank u so much but i cannot bent my thumb sorry what can i do
thankx again micelle- feels fantastic
again..here, with the expert
Wonderful video helping me a lot ❤️❤️
Thanks u
Thanks so much! You were really clear and that helped a lot. Thanks for explaining that the ulna doesn't move, but the radius does. My therapist didn't tell me that. Also, grateful that i can do some of these things while watching tv or walking. Helps a lot.
You are welcome! I am happy to hear these are helping. Good luck on recovery!
same here re not being told about ulna. I was trying to rotate it all. excruciating pain. I stopped all physio waiting for a x-ray, I thought I'd broken something. back at hospital and surgeon very strict telling me I need to seriously move everything or I'll end up with permanent disability.
@@VirtualHandCare thanks
Thank you so much. It helped me a lot. Both my ulna and radius were broken. I had a surgry for radius frantıre. I could not do supınation proporly. Especially the ball exercise helped me a lot.
Glad it helped!
Hello, I have been watching your videos and listening to some of the tips and suggestions that you give. I fell and broke my radius and ulna in the end of February. I am nearly done with a month of PT. I find your information helpful and reassuring to know that I am doing a particular exercise properly and then finding additional ones to support my recovery. Thanks for sharing these!
You're welcome! Sending strength on your recovery!
U
Very nice. Really helping me now when my wrist got twisted in an accident. I'm feeling better by these exercises. You detailed explanation is awesome. Keep it up.

@@sushilsalins3576 Hello sir! Thank God that you're doing better now. Be persistent in suggested exercises and don't force out of proportion. Body will heal in due course of time. I know it's very very challenging but with strong will and regular daily care you will get better very soon. I was practicing regularly and also tried hot and cold compression of water. Applied Dr. Ortho oil as well. Eucalyptus oil also helped. Only thing is that daily push your limits with great love and care. It took almost 3 months plus to fully recover from pain. Everyone has different situation but whatever it may be I'm sure that you'll do better.
@@sushilsalins3576 Use bands and gel balls etc. Also. Follow doctor advice diligently.
Broke my wrist (radius) 4 weeks ago and had surgery with 2 screws. They removed the cast yersterday along with the screws. I thought i would be able play golf and soccer today... little did i know 😫 but this has def helped me just in these 2 days.🎉
Love the explanations and movements. Curious to know what you think about arm wrestling....
Thank you! I don't know a lot about arm wrestling but from what I've seen it takes a lot of strength and skill to do it safely!
thanks
i have problem of supination
i can't make complete supination
i will try to do this exercise
Thank you so much!
I suffered a Colles fracture to my dominant arm in October with subsequent ORIF. I’ve been in hand therapy and I cannot supinate. I am so very frustrated. I don’t want to go back to work until I can at least hold something in my hand, turn a door handle and eat properly with a fork.
I fractured my left wrist in 2002 and was never able to fully supinate that hand, but I was able to cope because I still had my right one to take my meds and receive change.
You’ve given me some hope.
You are welcome and I'm so sorry to hear about your frustration. Your hand therapist should have lots of ideas to help you!
Are you now able to supinate your hand?
Did you get help with supination now? Any improvement? Any advice.
@@Cadehey these exercises not working for you?
How are you going now? Please update us..multiple people are asking!
I'm 6 to 7 weeks post fracture and dislocation, this video has given me lots of hope and definitely an improvement on what I'm currently doing. Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!

@@sushilsalins3576 I broke my radius and ulna was dislocated. It took 3 weeks before I got surgery and now 6 weeks after surgery I am allowed to rotate my forearm but I can't move it much, it's blocked. 10-15 degrees is what I can do and it's a bit frustrating but I see slow progress. I should rotate and hold it there for 5 sec, 3 times a day and after 2 weeks 5 times a day and it shouldn't hurt very much, max 5 of 10 where 10 is very painful. I can't bend my wrist very much either, about 30 degrees. How are you doing now?
Same here, 6 weeks post surgery and dislocated ulna and fracture on radius. How's your progress?
@@myshitonyoutube yo how r u doing now? I want to know because i trying to get my full range of motion again
I love the video. I definitely need help with supination to my right wrist.
Thank you! I hope these help!
Thank you for your great videos, love your detailed explanations and easy to listen to voice. Helps me everyday with my hand and wrist issues! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Madam
Any video for flexion& extension of wrist
I broke my ulna and radius a month ago. Will get into the 3rd session of OCCT. Still cannot rotate my arm and my fingers are 70% stiff. Watching your video make me excited to do exercise at home. Thank you.
Did you get results? Please share your results here and it will helpful to me .. because I too have same injury as you...

@@sushilsalins3576 bro don't lose hope do PT regularly. Because I had broken my both forearm bones in both hand . After three months I can supinate my both hands .. physio only helped me i tried myself for more than one week but I can't see progress so I requested PTs to come to my home and he did it regularly now i am ok with both hands .Now am going for ligament physiotherapy. You will be better soon bro
@@RAJA-is8vs can u please share your exercises? 6 weeks after surgery here and I'm afriad I'll be permanently stiff.
@@myshitonyoutube don't worry brother it will be alright do physio in regular manner after 6 weeks
Hey I'm currently 2 months in recovery from terrible triad elbow injury, pronation and supernation has been very stiff, your video really improved my supernation will implement these exercises with my other physio program thank you! :)
That's a wicked injury! But I am glad to hear this video is a great supplement to what you are doing in physio. Best of luck to you!

@@sushilsalins3576 hey it’s been 19 months since my accident, i fell of my bike and dislocated my elbow, fractured my coronoid and radial head plus tore my ulna ligament. Recovery was very challenging and a horrible experience. Since then I have lost around 30% of my ROM that I can’t seem to get back.
@@barryscowen I have the same injury - which motions in particular are you struggling with? Have you tried wearing a static progressive splint? I'm still trying to get my flexion, pronation and supination ROM back.
@@AdityaKhuller I would say I’ve lost 15% on pronation and supernation. Flextion and extension I’ve lost around 25% each. I haven’t tried one of those no one has recommended it to me. Doctors just said that I would lose some range.
