Banded Wrist Rocks
Written By David Song
BANDED WRIST ROCKS
This is a wrist mobility exercise used to increase wrist extension using arthrokinematic glides. Start by looping a light pullup assist band / strength band around the wrist and anchoring the other end down with your leg (while in a quadruped position). Slowly rock your body forwards to push the wrist into extension within tolerable limits. Rock your body back off to decrease the amount of wrist extension you are in and repeat as required.
