Wrist injury

[Gary Watson]

Seem to have developed a wrist injury maybe from using the chainsaw alot. Does anyone know of some specific exercises to strengthen the wrists. Maybe its the vibration that has caused it but more likely the angles of operation under pressure. Its mainly in the left wrist, but in the right a little as well.

cheers

Have you tried a powerball? I've found it quite effective.

Is that like a stress ball that you squeeze in your hand, if so then I will try.

Cheers

No it's a gyroscope that you start off with a pull cord and then twist your wrist around in circles to keep it going/increase speed - Just type Powerball into google and you'll see what I mean!

Thanks I will do that.

Perhaps watching less porn would ease the strain a little?

I use an elastic band to strengthen my wrists. It's a bit difficult to explain, but take an elastic band and loop it around your little finger, threading one end through the other to form a tight knot. Then wind the band around the little finger and slip the free loop of the band over your thumb. At this point your thumb and little finger should be pulled together by the elastic band. Now try pulling your fingers apart and thus flattening your palm. Keep flexing your hand in this way for 50 or so times. As your wrist gets stronger you can increase the tension in the band. This is a standard exercise for Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferers and it really works.

I had a go with one of those once.

It gave me a really bad wrist!
