Of all the common injuries that keep us from using our hands, one of the most annoying is damage to the wrist, usually from chronic overuse. The usual culprits that lead to chronic wrist problems are those that are manually repetitive in nature. This includes activities that range from typing to tennis; and from working on cars to working in the garden. Even doing strengthening exercises, like bench press and curls, can damage the wrists over time, especially if you don’t use proper technique or forget to stretch after your workout.
