Wrist Flexion Strengthening

Strengthens your wrist flexors and grip, building the foundation of hand and wrist stability that supports everything from yoga poses to daily tasks.

How to do it

1. 1

   Rest your forearm on a table with the palm up

   The hand and wrist hang just beyond the edge so the wrist can move freely.

2. 2

   Hold a light weight in a loose grip

   Small is fine. The point is control, not load.

3. 3

   Curl the wrist upward, then lower it slowly

   The lowering matters as much as the lift, so take it at half the speed. The forearm stays down on the table throughout.

4. 4

   Repeat slowly for thirty to sixty seconds, then change sides

   A smaller range is a good option if the end of the movement feels uncomfortable.

What to watch for

The forearm lifting off the table so the elbow starts doing the work. Keep it down, use less weight, and stop if the fingers begin to tingle.

Ways to adjust it

• Reduce range

Before you try it

Move within a range that stays comfortable. Stop if this brings on sharp pain, dizziness, or symptoms that travel down an arm or a leg, and speak to a clinician before repeating it.
