You can try the following:
  • Do flexibility and strengthening exercises every day. Work with a physical therapist to learn the best and safest exercises for your wrist.
  • Try the exercises after a hot bath or shower so that your wrist is warmed up and less stiff.
  • DO NOT perform exercises when your wrist is actively inflamed.
  • Make sure that you also rest the joint adequately. Both rest and exercise are important when you have arthritis.
