Wrist pain!!

[Gourav Acharya]

Hey guys I've been practicing the backhand flip on the table alot. And recently its causing me some pain. I realised that my rubber blade combination is pretty heavy, after holding my other friends setups. (FH:tinarc5,BH:729-2, Blade:Clipper.) Could you guys suggest any excercise that help in strengthening of joints. Also if there are any vegetables or food products that help for joint pain. Thanks.

Dr Levi Harrison gives a lot of advice and exercises for wrists. He focuses on gamers but they can't be bad for other wrist problems I guess

Rest. The only way to deal with repetitive use injuries. Later you can work on strength but you have to let it heal first.

What baal said. Rest until it feels fine again, then continue training those flicks but with less intensity. No need for extra exercises imo. Over time you can increase the intensity. Our bodies are magnificent, they adapt to what they do -- just more slowly than one would want.

I had problems with tendons in my arm (noticed at the elbow joint) when i switched to a heavier setup but now I don't anymore.

This is all under the assumption that you dont have chronic wrist problems and the strain is only caused by the change to heavier setup

I get wrist problems too, but only if I attempt to flick. In my case it's a sign of advancing age !

In case of pains, don´t ask for help in a forum, look for medical help. Your body is unique, and even if someone may have experienced "the same" problems under "the same" circumstances, chances are they are all but "the same".

LED photon therapy of near infrared LED and also far infrared heat wrap are excellent ways to stimulate more blood flow to the injury area, which brings healing faster. Tendons, especially in older players, do not normally receive a lot of blood so they heal slower. (Think ROTATOR CUFF shoulder injury) and many are chronic long term as they dont heal before you put too much load on them.

These devices are easy to find and purchase, and do not cost much money.

I can tell you my far-infrared heating device really sped up my recovery from a grade two rotator cuff tear. Look into it.

Let emphasize again. First step to getting out of a hole. Stop digging.

Later you can work on climbing.

Just to report that I have been doing the wrist exercises as in the Dr Harrison video. The nice thing is they can be done even while sitting at my desk at work. Great results so far with far less wrist pain.
During TT practice, I use a wrist strap until I am all warmed up about 30 mins later. I then either lessen the strap tension or remove it entirely.

A not tight wrist band can help too. Fixing it totally is even better, though may not be an option because of work. I had wrist pain because of playing piano after a long break and it came back after two day rest. I fixed my wrist (my left wrist, I'm right handed) and let it heal for 5-6 days (it was fixed for only 2 days). Then begun to do exercises and now it's perfect.

I'm just curious did you include icing along with your heat therapy?
Thanks

Icing is for the first stage of the injury to reduce swelling. It helps at that time for later evaluation. Increased blood flow brings more healing faster.

That is ehy saunas are great after workout.
