How to Strengthen Arthritic Wrists: 5 Wrist Arthritis Strengthening Exercises

If you've been strengthening or exercising your arthritic wrists, and you’re not improving or you have more pain, then it could be the position of your arm when doing those exercises.
Most exercises will show you how to strengthen your wrists with your forearm in a palms up or palms down position. But that can actually cause certain tendons to pull or rotate the small bones in your wrist, causing more wrist pain!
That’s why it’s important to 1st strengthen your wrist and forearm in a neutral position. And I’m going to teach you how to do that.
Follow along with Michelle from Virtual Hand Care, an Occupational Therapist and Certified Hand Therapist of 20 years, as she shows you 5 Wrist Arthritis Strengthening exercises that do not put strain on your wrist.
We will be doing 1 set of 10 reps of each exercise. You want to eventually aim for 2 sets of 10 repetitions, 1-2 times daily. The only equipment you need is a firm ball or therapy putty for the 1st exercise.

I continue to have flare ups of dequerveins tendonits. Can you recommend some exercises to strengthen the area so i can get some relief from the reoccurring pain.

Hi, I am a subscriber to your channel. I had hand surgery (carpal tunnel) about two months ago. I am currently not able to use my hand well, I cannot fully make a fist, and my fingers are very stiff and dry. Also, my shoulder hurts a lot and I can't do things like tie my hair. I would like to know your opinion and what exercises would be helpful for me.

[@johannagracejordan7162]

okay..what if you have trigger finger, so cannot do the squeezing of the putty, right? trying to work on a few different issues here.

Hi, can you do a video that helps strengthen forearms, hands, fingers and wrists with a flex bar? Thanks!

That's the one I do daily. I wasn't sure that it also addressed forearms. Thanks 😊!

Hello, I watched all your videos about trigger finger. I put splint two days ago to prevent clicking of the finger, but after I removed it, and tried to see what is happening, it was worse. I realised that when I use my finger, or carry something heavy in that hand symptoms are better, there is no clicking.. If I do not use finger (while sleep for example) clicking is worse. What is going on?

[@MAGAKI_GZ]

After wrist fracture why wrist look uneven 😢
