What are some ways to improve my wrist flexibility?

Stretching: The best way to increase the flexibility of the wrist or any joint is with stretching. An easy way to stretch the wrist is putting the hands together in front of you in a praying position, and then bring the hands-down forcing extension of the wrist. Next fully flex the wrist, put the back of the hands together and bring the elbows down to help with stretching in flexion.

Grab a tennis ball: hold gently and don't squeeze too tightly.. With palm facing downward and holding ball, slihjtly move your wrist downward, upward, to the right and to the left. I suggest starting with 3-5 minutes 2-3 times daily and prpgress to 15 min. AM/PM or 3x/day.
