Your wrists are constantly in use and for that reason, they are susceptible to consistent injury, however, there are steps you can take to avoid injury in situations that may pose a heightened risk such as during physical activity.   Muscle strength, endurance, body composition, bone density, and flexibility can be improved through strength training. In addition, it strengthens tendons and ligaments in places like the wrists, which naturally helps the body stay aligned so that it can withstand the rigors of athletics. By training properly, musculoskeletal injuries can be avoided and even their severity reduced.   It is important to use proper techniques to avoid sports injuries, including wrist injuries. To put it another way, you need to practice and perform the movements of your sport correctly—never just part of the time, but all of the time. It can range from making sure to lift weights with proper form to practicing the right throwing motion as a pitcher. By using proper technique, you not only reduce the risk of injury but also set yourself up for a long career in athletics.   Additionally, if you are able to avoid the overuse of similar wrist movements you may be able to avoid injury. If repetitive wrist movements are necessary in your place of work, for instance, it is helpful to consistently stretch and partake in wrist workouts.
