We've all been there! Tripped and stumbled on the way into work, going down stairs, while out hiking, maybe even while riding a skateboard! If that spill resulted in a wrist sprain you are in luck, we've got just the exercises you need to help to get you on the mend and back at it! 

Working on improving healthy joint motion followed by appropriate strengthening is a good course of action to appropriately rehab a wrist sprain. Depending on the severity of your sprain, you may spend a few extra days working on mobility before strength and that is just fine. Listen to you body and where it is at in the healing process and be patient with yourself, these exercises will help to get you back, but promise us you won't be late to work again!
