Mountain Bike Wrist Injury
Recovering from a finger strain injury?
I have recently been mountain biking more than i usually would do and have been using my brakes a lot, because of this i have over used my fingers and have strained my muscles between my wrist and finger bones. i have rested for 2 weeks and i am worried that i will strain it again because the muscles have been weakened, is there anything i can do to exercise or increase the strength in my fingers so i do not injure them again
Wrist and forearm injuries are common nowadays. Overuse is a major reason. You need to strengthen the wrist, fingers, and forearm to prevent injuries in the future. The forearm is included since the tendons in your wrist and finger tie into it. The best exercises to do are:
1. Wrist curls
2. Reverse wrist curls
