Banded Wrist Flexion: Wrist and Elbow Recovery
The Banded Wrist Flexion exercise helps improve wrist mobility and strength in the forearm muscles responsible for supporting and moving the wrist and elbow. It’s a great rehabilitative exercise to do after injury or surgery in those joints.
How to do banded wrist flexion
You can do this exercise with a resistance band or a light dumbbell.
- Sit down with your forearm placed on a table, the arm of a chair, or your leg. Your elbow should be bent at 90 degrees, and your palm facing up.
- Start with your palm aligned with your forearm, then slowly bend your wrist and lower your hand as far as is comfortable.
- Slowly bend your wrist in the other direction, lifting your hand as far as is comfortable.
- Repeat 10-15 times or as instructed by your clinician.

Remember, if an exercise is painful to do, take a break, notify your clinician, or make some modifications. You can lower your rep count, reduce your resistance, wear a brace for extra support, or slightly decrease your flexion range.
