The wrist is a complex joint that bridges the forearm to the hand – a collection bones from the forearm (radius, ulna), 8 carpal bones, and 5 metacarpal bones, an articular disc (Triangular fibrocartilage complex or TFCC) and a plethora of ligaments. Then throw in muscles that all have very specific attachment points. Let&;s not forget about nerves arteries and veins. As you can see the wrist is a quite complicated. In the following weeks I will be posting 5 stretches and mobility exercises but if you have an ongoing issue this is not to replace a wrist assessment by a health professional! Work smart. Loose ligaments need muscular strengthening, tight muscles need stretching, weak muscles need strengthening, focus on each exercise to maximize your motor control and don&;t just go through the motions. practor series
