Radial Deviation
A radial deviation drill built around moving the wrist toward the thumb side while the forearm stays still.
Tool: Flex Bar
Benefits:
Daily: More stable thumb-side wrist adjustment
- Training: Practice controlled radial deviation and wrist stability
- Comfort: Small range with a steady forearm helps reduce rotational compensation
How to:
Set Up: Grip the bar, keep the forearm steady, and start with the wrist neutral.
Do: Keep the forearm still → move the hand toward the thumb side from the wrist → stop in a comfortable range → return slowly to neutral.
Equivalent logic:
The bar acts as a lever; the movement comes from side-bending at the wrist, not forearm rotation.
Safety:
Stop for sharp pain/numbness/tingling; do not force end range; return slowly and stay controlled.
Note: The range can be small—keep the forearm from rotating.
