Wrist Pain during Exercise: Causes, Modifications, and Tips for Relief
Protecting your wrists during floor exercises is crucial for preventing pain and injury. Pushups and planks can strain the delicate wrist structure, leading to discomfort and long-term damage. The most common causes of wrist pain during exercise include overloading the wrists with body weight and existing injuries or conditions. Tight wrist flexors and weak wrist extensors contribute to the problem. To alleviate pain, gradually increase the intensity of your exercises, adjust your elbow position, use a cushion under your hands, and stretch and strengthen your wrist muscles. Rest, ice, and keep your body moving to promote recovery. Seek professional guidance if needed.
