Great topic! Wrist injuries are so common in golfers, especially due to the repeated motions. Some common injuries are tendonitis and wrist sprains. Exercises focusing on flexibility and strength can make a big difference in both prevention and rehab.
Absolutely! I’ve found that incorporating wrist curls and stretches into my routine really helps. I used to suffer from pain, but these have made a significant difference.
It’s interesting how often we overlook wrist health! Many golfers focus on their swings but neglect the supporting muscles. Physical therapists often recommend specific training to include in our practice sessions.
You’re so right! I never really paid attention until I started experiencing pain. Any specific exercises you’d recommend?
Wrist rotations and flexor stretches are great for warming up before a game. They really help in preventing injuries! Trainers often emphasize the importance of these in their conditioning programs.

If you want to take things further, consider using a resistance band. It’s excellent for building strength in your wrist. Just make sure you do them correctly to avoid strain!
Honestly, anything labeled as a light to medium resistance will do well for wrist exercises. I recommend visiting a local sports store to try some out. They’re really helpful there!
