NEXUS INSIGHT
Hey, NEXUS Community! We'd like to share some info about wrists! Our wrists, much like our ankles, are very complex joints that require both mobility and stability to perform our daily tasks. These requirements, as well as their ability to move in all directions, make them a key (and frequently overlooked) aspect of injury prevention. There are a few ways to protect your wrists from injury; the most important of which is increasing mobility. Stretching your wrists multiple times a week can help improve your range of motion as well as stability and control. A key wrist stretch is extending your arm with the palm facing away from you and using the other hand to pull back on your fingers. Then, point your fingers down so your palm is facing you, and again pull back on your fingers. You should feel a stretch through your wrist and up your forearm. Repeat this a few times on both hands It is also important to warm up your wrists prior to using them while exercising. You can do this by performing the stretch described above, as well as some dynamic movements like wrist circles. It is also important to perform exercises that increase wrist strength, such as pull-ups, deadlifts, and farmer's carries. Last but not least, when exercising, don't hesitate to wear wrist wraps! A NEXUS, you'll see our members utilizing these frequently, as loading such a small joint with so much weight can cause the joint a lot of stress, and wrist wraps provide support to help alleviate some of the strain on the wrist. Drop by to mobilize and strengthen those wrists today! See you soon!
NEXUS is running its next round of FMB on May 25th, 6-8pm!
