There are many reasons why you may be experiencing wrist pain; you may have sprained or pulled something, deal with osteoarthritis, or suffer from other conditions such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel, or repetitive motion syndrome. Whatever the reason for your wrist pain, it is important that you do all that you can to minimize the pain in your wrist. Here are the 4 best wrist exercises you can perform to do just that:

Seated Wrist Hammer Curls
While seated, place your forearm flush against your thigh with your thumb pointing upward. Without lifting your arm, curl your wrist up towards your body. To get the most out of this exercise, imagine that you are doing this motion while holding a hammer. This will strengthen your brachioradialis muscle. When you feel comfortable, try doing with with added weight.

Seated Wrist Straight Curls
Similar to the previous exercise, place your forearm flush against your thigh with your palms facing upward. This time, curl your first towards your body, as if you were folding your wrist towards the inner part of your forearm. This will strengthen your flexor muscles.

Seated Reverse Straight Curls
To stretch and strengthen the opposite sides of your flexor muscles, do the same action as the previous exercise, but this time with your palms facing downward toward the floor. Curl your first away from your body instead of towards it to access every part of your wrist muscles.

Wrist Extensions & Flexions
This might be an exercise that you do regularly without even noticing it! Simply extend one arm all the way out and use your other arm to pull back your fingers individually. This will help stretch out and restore motion to the other bones and joints in your hand, therefore relieving pain in the wrist.
