Sohrab Khushrushahi: Working out with injured wrists

If you’ve somehow managed to injure your wrists, the first step is to get proper rehab before you get back to exercising

Wrist worry

Let your injuries heal before you start doing push=ups

I fractured both my wrists three months ago. Can I get back to training now? What should I avoid?

First thing I’m going to ask is if you’ve gone through a proper rehab program. That’s absolutely essential when you’re recovering from an injury, so please speak to a physiotherapist before you return to training. When you start, make sure you go easy with push-ups and any other work where you’ll be flexing or extending your wrists. Follow a proper wrist mobility programme before you start training for the day.
